At the beginning of summer 2011, we met at a party through mutual friends. We had instant chemistry, and after that night we spent every day together for the rest of the summer. After years of long distance while I went to college and he played hockey, I decided to make the move and follow him while he pursued his dream of playing hockey. 7 years later and some growing up to do in between, we are finally getting married!

Casey took me to dinner in Wasilla on the way to my cabin for the weekend. Once we got to my cabin, my dad went to show Casey the new dock he had just built and my mom distracted me inside. My dad came and grabbed me to bring me down to the dock, and at the top of the stairs I saw Casey all dressed up standing in the middle of a beautiful floral set up. I instantly started crying and he started to play the song, "Speechless" as I walked down the stairs. After he asked and I said yes, there were fireworks from the lake and two boats full of friends and family appeared with cheers. We had a surprise engagement party at our cabins and it was definitely an unforgettable night. We are excited to share this next chapter of our lives with you! See you in Alaska! XOXO - Casey and Anna
