Finally

Alysse moved to VT to be on her own in 2009 and ended up with many roommates. The last roommate she had thought it would be a great idea to buy 7 cords of wood in log length because it was soooooo much cheaper. Then they moved out! So the wood was delivered and Alysse was completely overwhelmed because winter was coming soon and she needed this wood to stay warm. She asked around work to see if someone could come over and chunck it up. (Alysse planned to chop it all by hand because she had never used a chainsaw) Finally she asked the right person who suggested to ask Brette who worked at Hubbardton forge. Lo and behold he lived just around the corner and his family owned a wood business. Brette came over to chunck it up, ended up doing the whole 7 cords for her and the rest is history. Brette and Alysse have been inseparable since. Brette is Alysses rock and she gets him out of his comfort zone.

Brette and Alysse have been together for 7 years now. She might have started hinting she was ready to get married. When Brette decided he was ready to propose he knew he wanted to have a ring custom made for her by a woman he has known for many years. He had the whole thing planned out. He talked to her mother Laura before they went on a trip to her dad, Mark's annual pool party. Once at the party he told everyone so they could help him with the suprise. As the party died down they decided to go to the beach to fly kites. Alysse was completely unaware what was going on. Once there she tried so hard to get these stupid kites to fly for her nieces and nephews. She was running back and forth like a mainiac because there was NO wind. Everyone kept telling her to give it a rest already. Totally oblivious she kept going. Once she finally stopped Alysse’s sister said “Let's get some pictures of you guys it's so pretty out.” Alysse was posing thinking nothing of it. As she went to walk away she saw all her family running down the beach and was called to by Brette. She turned around to find him on one knee. It was a beautiful proposal. That beach is one of their favorite places to visit every summer.
