Annie was going out downtown after celebrating a career change. She was in school at Aveda Institute Madison where she met a few of her life-long friends, Samantha Schwartz being one of those friends who would go on to play a crucial role in this love story. Annie was going to meet Samantha for drinks and upon entering the establishment, Annie realized they were not alone. Heading to the bar, Annie was unsure of the additional company. Little did she know, her soul-sister was about to introduce her to her soulmate. Theron and Annie met unexpectedly on the evening of July 26, 2019, spending hours together after everyone else went home. They laid under the stars and the old ash tree, talking about their dreams, their wishes, what projects Annie would do in Theron's house. They made plans to hang out a day later and Annie told her mom "I think I met my future husband." They have been together ever since and are excitedly looking ahead to their very own happily ever after. *In loving memory of Samantha Schwartz. Friend, Match Maker, Guardian Angel.*

After years of Annie sending countless videos of rings, Theron finally asked Annie to marry him! In reality, the couple has spent the last four years building a beautiful life together, falling more in love with every chapter. From supporting each other through continued education programs to starting their own businesses, raising fur-babies and countless home-reno projects, Theron and Annie have been focused on living life to the fullest. Annie has always been obsessed with rings, the first to compliment any engagement/wedding ring she saw, scrolling through jeweler websites from here to San Fransisco. Those hours of chatting about "the perfect ring" paid off when Theron pieced everything together and proposed with the *actual* perfect ring. Not one for surprises, Annie was thrilled when Theron unintentionally let slip that he had purchased a ring. After all, being so excited about something so big and wanting to tell your best friend is the foundation of their relationship. Still totally surprised, Annie was happy to have a pre-engagement before the engagement officially occurred. Theron asked Annie to marry him at their home on Daffodil Lane, in Madison, Wisconsin on their four year anniversary, with their dogs Maisie and Lexi present to bless the next chapter for their family. Every year, Theron and Annie host a Halloween party. Despite not wanting to plan a traditional wedding, the two decided to make the 2024 Halloween party the biggest and the best yet! 10.26.2024 will occur on the weekend of the 4th annual Lewis-Wahlberg Halloween party and will be Great Gatsby themed! Costumes are not mandatory, however, dressing in 1920’s glam is highly encouraged. Due to the nature of this party, invited guests are 21+.
