This Guy Proposed To His Girlfriend AND Her Sister With Down Syndrome

July 4, 2017

Not long after Ashley started dating Will, she introduced him to her sister, Hannah, and told him they were a package deal.

"She has Down syndrome and diabetes, and I look after her and protect her," Ashley told Fox5. "To be with me, you must accept her and love her as well."

Now the two sisters are preparing for a very special day this fall.

On March 8, 2016, Will popped the question and asked Ashley to marry him in a field of spring flowers near their home. However, Ashley wasn't the only person who Will proposed to that day.

"Before you knew it, he was down on one knee, asking her to be his best friend forever," Ashley said. "It was the sweetest moment in my whole life watching Hannah be so happy and feeling so special."

"We may not know what the future will hold for Hannah, and I hope that someday she finds a sweet boy, but for now, I am so thankful she got to enjoy that moment that every girl dreams about," Ashley said.
