Amy and Jay's Proposal Story
We are excited to share this story of Amy and Jay, who first met on a Blackhawk River Runs canoe trip, and who are now engaged to be married! Amy shared:
“We met on a canoe trip in 2008. My closest guy friend, Justin, brought his best friend, Jason, along on our second annual canoe trip to be his canoe partner and that is how Jay and I met. The day he proposed had been incredibly hot, I think upper nineties all day and absolutely no cloud cover at all.
Just as Jay was figuring out how to make his move, it began to rain, but not just a little rain, oh no, we got a deluge! Wind whipping, black clouds overhead, lightning flashing and just a massive amount of rain coming down.
Jay and I climb into our tent. However, he is unusually quiet, so I look over at him and ask if he wants to watch a movie or something to pass the time.
…Then he pulled the ring from his pocket and asked me to be Mrs. Kuffel. It was kind of perfect. It's looking like we're aiming for the weekend before our wedding for this year's canoe trip, which is pretty perfect in my mind!”
Thank you for sharing your story with us, and we are honored to be a part of it!
