💟 Alert! 💟
Kiley grew up in the foothills of Colorado, and as a young girl, Aspen was a very special place to Kiley and her family. Her mom took family ski vacations there as a child and it was one of her favorite places. Later in life, Kiley's parents met when they both lived there in the '80s while skiing and got engaged there in 1986. When Kiley started dating Beau in 2020, he took her there for their first trip together because he knew the importance of it to her. Beau asked her to be his girlfriend officially at the base of the famous Maroon Bells peak, which was the weekend she fell in love with him. Fast forward almost three years in July of 2023, after moving in together, getting a puppy and experiencing years worth of memories, adventures, joys, challenges and life, he took her back for a weekend away during a busy summer. Kiley says, "He tricked me into thinking we were going to a fancy brunch in town and this time (dressed up) he took me back to Maroon Bells and proposed in the same spot at the bottom of the peak. He had a photographer there who captured it all and after our photo shoot they both convinced me to finish taking our photos at the top of Aspen Mountain. We rode the gondola up together to the top and when I got off I was stunned to see my entire family, his family and some of our close friends waiting for us with an entire brunch spread and champagne to host an engagement party. Beau’s entire family and some of mine are from out of town plus my brother in law is in the military and it’s challenging to be able to leave for special occasions. Having them all present was incredibly emotional and touching!"
