The Moment: A Ski-Day Surprise at Telluride Peak
There are moments that change the course of a life — and then there are moments that take your breath away. On a crisp Telluride afternoon after a day of skiing, Monte surprised Jensen at the top of the mountain with the most beautiful question. Surrounded by their whole family, with views across the San Juan Mountains, Jensen said yes, and the day became a memory they — and everyone who witnessed it — will cherish forever.

The surprise was perfect: an intimate family circle, the sparkle of fresh snow, and genuine emotion overflowing as Monte knelt and proposed.
Jensen later shared on her social media: “A day that truly changed our lives forever! Is it crazy to say that we both couldn’t have imagined it any other way and also we never saw it coming? It feels like a testament to the goodness of God and how he made you so perfectly for me & me so perfectly for you.
Surrounded by family at the top of Telluride after a day of skiing. The best of the very very best. Jesus, we thank you for every bit of the past 11 years! And boy oh boy are we ready for this next chapter❣️
Montechez is more than I could have ever prayed for & imagined. My best friend, wise confidant, & lover of my soul. I really want to be more like him when I grow up ! Forever will never be long enough to love and cherish this man.
Jensen Marie Crenshaw! My best friend, my partner in crime, my soul mate. I cannot wait to officially start a life with you! From my high school camp crush to now my fiancée, everyday with you is filled with something beautiful, fun and new!
My Forever Valentine” Jensen
