Courtney and James's love story began in the digital age, with a simple swipe on Hinge that would change their lives forever. Their first date at Cold Stone Creamery was anything but ordinary - as they shared scoops of ice cream, they also shared an instant connection that felt as sweet as the treats before them. Three weeks of getting to know each other flew by, and James found himself falling head over heels for Courtney. When the moment came to make things official, James was so nervous that he couldn't even bring himself to utter the classic "Will you be my girlfriend?" Instead, his endearing awkwardness only made Courtney fall for him even more, and they embarked on their journey as a couple. As their relationship blossomed, life threw challenges their way. However, it was when Courtney had to have an appendectomy and hospital that James stood by her side and he realized he couldn't imagine life without her. Through all these trials and tribulations, their bond only grew stronger. James found himself turning to prayer and, much to his family's amusement, constantly seeking their advice. He knew in his heart that Courtney was the one. On June 18, at the charming Cake Bake in Carmel, Indiana, James took the leap. Surrounded by cake, pink and sparkles, he got down on one knee and asked Courtney to marry him. In that moment, their journey from a dating app match to soulmates came full circle, proving that sometimes, the sweetest love stories begin with a simple scoop of ice cream and a whole lot of heart.
