We actually met at a bar in uptown MN while out with friends.
Steph's version: We had talked about getting married, I just didn't know when to expect it. October 26th 2019, I was told that we were going to go hiking up in Taylors Falls for the day and then go see my family. Tony brought the tripod so we could take a few nice photos for a Christmas card. We hiked for a bit and turned around to head back to a spot that overlooked the water. After a bit of time, we took some pictures. Tony was setting it up, as I looked out to the water, he came back and started talking about us. This is when it hit me to what he was about to do. I was shocked, excited, and I'm pretty sure I blanked all that he said or did. I also didn't know that the whole time he recorded it. After all the excitement we went to a bar for burgers and beer (which is totally an us thing to do). I was still in amazement of what happened. Later that evening, he also surprised me with our families who got together to celebrate us and our engagement!!
