Westen proposed in one of Alissa’s favorite places in the world, in a Volk family farm pasture. It was just another normal day of going to move the cows. But first, Alissa’s dad, Chuck, tells the family that we have to find a bull that broke out of the fence. Naturally, the best place to look is on top of the biggest hill around, which happens to be the highest point in Benson County. Alissa had absolutely no suspicions for what was about to happen. Chuck directed Alissa toward the valley below while Westen got down on one knee, pulled out the ring, and patiently waited for Alissa to turn around. Alissa, being completely oblivious, was shocked when she turned around and saw the love of her life down on one knee. It was the easiest yes she’s ever said. Turns out, there wasn’t a bull missing or any cows to move, just a big question to ask!
