Lori and David enjoying the moment at Cathedral Rock

TCU men’s tennis coach David Roditi and girlfriend Lori Sutherland got engaged on New Year’s Eve in Sedona, Ariz. They went to Cathedral Rock for a photo album’s worth of gorgeous memories, taken by a photographer with whom Roditi must have made secret arrangements.

The photos almost as beautiful as Sutherland, whose left ring finger is now weighted down by a rock reminiscent of the spectacular cliffs the couple got to explore during their trip. Congratulations and happy new year!

Wonder if Kristi's slice is as good as a slice of her cake...
