We met at Top Shelf bar in Fond du Lac before going to Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts for their outdoor concert series to hear the Listening Party. After that first night we both just knew there was something special between us.

It had just snowed the night before, Jonas suggested we go take pictures out at The Ledge in Mayville, but first he told me he needed to help his brother haul wood. After he was done we drove out to The Ledge, hiked to a beautiful rocky, snow-fallen area to capture some photos of us. As I was putting away my photography equipment he comes up behind me, I turn around as he started confessing his love for me, got down on one knee and pulled out the ring saying "Carissa Ann Derge, I want to spend forever with you, will you marry me?" It took me a little bit to respond out of shock, but I said "YES!" We are SO excited to celebrate our special day with you and start this next chapter in our lives.
