On the evening of December 21, 2024, Asher planned a special moment for Anna at one of their favorite hiking spots along the St. Croix River in Wisconsin. The winter air was crisp, and the sunset cast a warm glow over the snowy landscape, setting the perfect scene.

Asher chose this location not just for its beauty, but because it was a place full of memories for them. They had hiked there often, shared laughs, and talked about their future. Asher was now ready to make that future even more certain.

Anna had no idea that this hike would be different from any other. As they stood together, Asher took a deep breath and asked, “Will you marry me?”

Anna paused, smacked Asher, and yelled, "You lied to me!" Asher had told her he didn’t have a ring, but in reality, he’d had it for over a month, waiting for the right moment. After the surprise wore off, Anna eagerly said yes.

Just as the sun set, another surprise awaited Anna. Asher had organized a surprise party with their closest friends and family, who were nearby, ready to celebrate.

Surrounded by loved ones, Anna’s heart was full, and the evening was filled with love, laughter, and the promise of their future together. The St. Croix River and the surprise party made for the perfect way to start this next chapter in their lives.
