Flying out of Seattle, Mount Rainier was out to play and Rachel decided to wake up her seat partner. Though any other sleeping passenger would be annoyed, thankfully Troy was not. From that point on the rest of the flight was one big flirt fest. When Troy ordered himself a beer, Rachel thought, “I want to have a drink with this guy,” and ordered a glass of wine. Troy thinking similar thoughts changed his order to wine as well. After 2 hours of discussing politics, reality TV, dirty jokes, and random nonsense sparks started to fly. Due to the wine, Rachel had to pee. Upon her departure, a passenger in the next row leaned over to Troy and said, “You better get her number.” He told her he was planning to #swoon. Once they both got off the flight, Troy walked Rachel through the DIA maze and to her car. As promised, he asked for her number…

Can’t spell Iceland with out ice, and that is just what Troy put on Rachel’s finger. Troy and Rachel were on the way to spend 8 days in a van throughout Iceland. Clenching to his bag the entire trip through the airport and onto the plane, Troy wouldn't let it out of his sight. Little did Rachel know that in that bag was an engagement ring he had been holding onto for almost a month, patiently waiting for what would be the perfect location to ask Rachel to spend their lives together. On their third day in Iceland, Troy took Rachel to Skógafoss. As they walked the trail, the two were blown away by the sights. Troy couldn't keep his hand out of his pocket making sure the ring was still there, checking far too often. Troy leaned over to Rachel and said, “Wow, look at the ocean over there”, his attempt at distracting her long enough to get the ring out. When Rachel turned back around there was Troy asking Rachel to spend her life with him. Naturally Rachel said yes while ugly crying. The two embraced each other on the ground surrounded by the most beautiful waterfall.
