How the Two Met One Another

The Story of Their Proposal

Christina: We were at the Ice Castles in Dillon, Co. He found a nice quiet spot and got down on one knee! Before he did, Trent gave his phone to a passerby and asked her to record the moment. At that point, I got an idea of what was about to happen. Trent started to get down on one knee and the lady holding his phone says, “You want a video of this?”, thinking she was supposed to take a picture and not knowing that Trent already started the recording. After Trent tells her it’s already recording, she continues to say, “Oh (expletive), I’m talkin’ and ruinin’ your moment.” You can hear it clear-as-day on the video. It’s pretty funny if you get to see it sometime. Trent got down on one knee and I said “Oh no.” That’s Trent’s version of events anyway, but I don’t remember that at all! I remember saying, “Yes,” and that’s all that matters.

Venue Selection

Christina: I come from a big Vietnamese family. We had to find a spot that could accommodate a really big party! When we walked through the Great Divide, we both knew that the cool, industrial vibe would be perfect for us.
