Our Story
How they
met.
Jay is from Saratoga Springs, New York. Megan is from Maui. Roughly five thousand miles apart, with nothing in common except the school they both happened to pick.
They both landed at the University of Utah and still managed to not cross paths until a fall break trip to San Diego put them on the same beach. Megan was sitting in the sand with her friends when Jay introduced himself. They talked until the sun went down.
Back in Salt Lake, they started running into each other on purpose. First real date: too much pasta, one bottle of wine, and a table they kept far longer than they should have. A lot of dinners followed, then road trips and slow Sundays, and somewhere in there the five thousand miles stopped being the interesting part.
How did Jay
propose?
He chose New Year’s Eve. Megan had just come off a red-eye and was more than ready to bail on skiing that morning, but Jay talked her into going anyway. After a couple of runs, he steered them toward a lookout over the Jordanelle Reservoir. She was still taking in the view when he dropped to one knee.
She said yes.
Their closest friends had quietly ridden the gondola up while it was happening, waiting at the summit of Deer Valley with oysters and champagne. There, surrounded by the people they loved most and one unforgettable view, they toasted to forever.
