During Jon's year of service as State FFA 2nd Vice President, the officer team came to Culbertson for DLS. Macy ended up in Jon's group and spent the time sitting front row and giggling with her friends about how cute Jon was. 3 years later Jon and Macy connected through the powers of a few bottles of wine and Twitter DMs, and had their first date a few weeks later.

Nothing worth having comes easy, right? Well, Jon asking Macy to marry him wasn't easy. Jon attempted to make evening plans in order to propose for three days, but Macy had suspicions of what was coming, and guided Jon's plans to fit with hers. Finally, on a warm Fall Saturday night, Jon convinced Macy to dress up for a date and the two drove down to the river to look at the pretty Fall foliage (Macy's favorite). Jon was searching for wildlife, and claimed to spot a moose. He gave Macy the binoculars to find the moose, and while she was busy looking, he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. Eventually, frustrated she couldn't find a moose, Macy dropped the binoculars and turned around to find something much better.
