How They Met

Caffeine. That’s where the story starts.

Amber was working at Starbucks, serving coffee to the masses. Chris was busy as a corporate business trainer, relying heavily on caffeine to get through those long training days. One day Amber got transferred to a new Starbucks location. There she met the Toffee-nut Americano addicted Chris.

After months of flirting, awkward conversations, encouragement from friends, and self-pep talks in the car, Chris stumbled into Starbucks in the hope of seeing the incredibly cute coffee girl, Amber. To Amber’s excitement, Chris had gathered the courage to take her out for dinner that night! They closed down the restaurant, and began their journey together!

The Proposal

Amber and Chris were getting ready to go on one of their favorite hikes in Banff, AB in Canada at Johnston Canyon. As the two of them were getting ready, Amber commented, “It looks like it’s going to be a good day.” Chris responded, “I know it will be a GREAT day!”. Amber thought that his statement was quite bold, but she figured Chris was just excited about the great weather and the hike. They hiked up past the lower falls and then to the top of the larger upper waterfall. They sat down to enjoy a picnic lunch at the top of the waterfall.

After eating Chris asked Amber to close her eyes because he had a surprise for her. Enjoying surprises, Amber eagerly closed her eyes not knowing what was about to happen. Chris said: “Amber, you make me so happy. I want to share the rest of my life with you, and it would be an honor if you would share the rest of your life with me. Will you marry me?” Amber opened her eyes to see the beautiful ring. After a big hug and kiss at the top of the falls, Amber said “YES!”

The Engagement Ring

The ring was designed by Spence Diamonds in Canada. Originally Amber wanted a single solitaire engagement ring. After trying a few on, none of them seemed right. So Amber tried a few rings with diamonds down the band, but they needed to still be simple and subtle. As soon as Amber tried on her dream ring, it was perfect. Nice and simple, shiny and stunning!
