Analie and Dominic had seen each other across the room and unbeknownst to them; both were immediately drawn to one another. They were properly introduced while they were waiting in line for confession.
They began to spend time together starting with a rodeo towards the end of August 2019. Analie had a bit of a crush on Dominic but did her best to keep it subtle. (Dominic would later inform her that she was not subtle at all) They quickly developed a close friendship as Analie & her brother would go out to the Fonder farm quite frequently to help with chores and hangout with Dominic and his sister.
It was a very cold night in January. Outside, under the stars when they officially revealed that they both did in fact like each other and wanted to continue getting to know one another. After three years of becoming close friends, Dominic officially asked Analie to be his girlfriend. They continued to grow their relationship.
Dominic had been preparing the proposal for months. He had purchased the ring, asked Analie's Father for her hand, and had a plan. Analie's family had invited Dominic to come along camping in the Black Hills with them. On Thursday morning, after breakfast around the campfire, Dominic invited Analie to go on a hike with him. They hiked up to the top of a nearby hill. Dominic cleverly suggested that they should set up their phones and take a couple pictures. Then, instead of setting up the camera, he started recording. He read a speech that he had written, then he got down on one knee and popped the question. Analie was caught completely by surprise and didn't believe that it was real at first. She asked several times to be sure and then said yes!!!
The wedding ceremony will be held at St. Lawence Catholic Church at 2:30pm. More information can be found on the Events page of our website
