- Courtney described the day as "a miracle," saying "the goodness to see in people" made the shared love "absolutely spectacular." The moment became one she will never forget.
- John is now home in Pennsylvania with family, making the most of every day on Jeep rides and fishing trips. Courtney and Michael hope to start a family soon.
