When Indiana native Will Seaton was trying to figure out how to propose to his girlfriend, he had to make sure that not only she would like it, but also her teenage sister.
“From day one … when Hannah was born, my parents explained to me that she was extra special and that I should look out and protect her more than a typical sibling throughout her life,” 23-year-old Ashley Schaus said about her 16-year-old sister, Hannah, who has down syndrome and diabetes. “Not only are we sisters but we are best friends. We’ve done everything together. I told Will that Hannah and I were a package deal. You had to accept her, love her, and include her in everything because she and I would be attached at the hip forever.”
For the past seven years, Will has gone above and beyond to make sure Hannah is always included in their plans. So when it came time to propose, he made sure to include her in the special moment as well. “I wanted to include Hannah in the proposal in case she may not get to experience that,” Will said. “Hannah is a big part of our relationship and I already consider her a sister.”
After some planning, Will decided it would be perfect to propose to Ashley and Hannah during an annual family photo shoot. “He got down one knee, using my grandmother’s ring, and asked Hannah if she’d be his best friend forever. I didn’t even think about myself, I was just so happy to have her experience such a sweet moment,” Ashley said. “After she said yes, I looked over at Will and he immediately gave me a wink. Then, he turned to me, got down on one knee again, and asked me for my hand in marriage.”
“I cried. Hannah cried. We all cried. And of course we both said yes. It was the most amazing moment of my life.”
