On Christmas Day of 2013, an exciting chapter of Jaclyn and Asher Epstein's love story unfolded.

The bride believed she'd spend a comfortable day with her man watching movies and eating Chinese food. Little did she know, Asher had a romantic surprise waiting at her grandmother's house.

Once Jaclyn arrived, Asher asked her to look at her grandma's new lights in the back garden. The walkway, covered with a blanket of snow, set the scene.

When Asher finished reading, he got down on one knee and popped the question.

Asher says choosing Jaclyn's grandmother's backyard for his proposal was an easy decision. The beautiful garden has raspberry bushes that the couple loves to pick berries from.

Jaclyn, of course, said yes.
