Chris asked Paige to marry him on a very snowy and magical day at Sunday River in December 2022. They had just gotten off the chairlift at the top of Spruce Peak for the last run of the day. Skiing with friends, they had been too busy shredding the pow to take many photos, so Chris asked their close friends to take a picture at the top. Knowing he would be getting down on one knee, a task which proves to be more challenging/impossible with skis on, he cleverly used the cover of, “Let’s stage the shot like the Fagan family ski photos” with the 'X' crossed skis in the foreground. Chris positioned the two skis in a wide ‘X’ so he would make it in the shot while on one knee. Paige immediately corrected his faux-pas, repositioning his skis to a more upright 'X'. Chris, going with the flow as to not raise any suspicions, dropped to one knee and their special moment was captured forever... followed by a re-take a few moments later.
