What started as a simple trip to Madison to enjoy the farmers' market and the Memorial Union Terrace, eventually turned into a day neither Parker or Bryce will ever forget.

After arriving in Madison on the morning of the 16th, they took their time exploring the Dane County Farmers' Market with their puppy, Frankie. Once they had their fill of fun and spicy cheese bread, Parker recommended going to enjoy a drink over at the Terrace on the lake. What Bryce didn't know was that both of their families were hiding and eagerly awaiting what would come next.

Once Parker and Bryce had grabbed two spotted cows and sat down, he eventually was able to muster up the courage to tell Bryce his feelings for her and ask the question she had waited so long to hear "Will you marry me?".

With a ring in one hand, and Frankie by her side, Bryce excitedly said yes and quickly realized they would not be alone in their celebration. Both families had come out from hiding inside the Union and surprised Bryce with their elation. After spending the remainder of the day celebrating with their families, bar hopping around State Street, showing off her new ring, and concluding with a family dinner, it was the best day either of them could have asked for.
