ABILENE, TX â Viewers tuning in for a routine weather forecast got far more than they bargained for when a Texas meteorologist turned the green screen into a glowing backdrop for one of lifeâs biggest moments.
Forecast of Forever
In a bold move blending professional flair with personal passion, meteorologist Carter Vandrasik proposed to his girlfriend, Ashton Cheatham, during a live segment on NBC affiliate KRBC-TV. What began as a standard weather update quickly transformed into a candlelit moment of surprise, as Vandrasik invited Cheatham on-air under the pretense of an interview.
The couple stood before the familiar green screen, but instead of Doppler radar and storm systems, viewers were met with a digital scene of romantic candlelight and soft violin music. Vandrasik, holding Cheathamâs hands, spoke from the heart, recounting their long-distance struggles, their faith-centered journey, and the love that led them back to each other.
A Surprise Sheâll Never Forget
As the music swelled, Cheathamâs realization grew. Suspecting the ruse, she questioned whether they were really doing an interview. Her suspicions were confirmed when Vandrasik dropped to one knee and asked her to be his wife.
Cheatham, overwhelmed with emotion, tearfully nodded in agreement. With that, the camera returned to the anchors, and Vandrasik proudly introduced her as his soon-to-be wife.
College Sweethearts Reunited
Their love story began at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where the two met during their junior year. Vandrasik studied meteorology, while Cheatham pursued art. After enduring an eight-month long-distance chapter, the couple reunited in Texasâa move they believe was guided by divine timing.
The engagement ring Vandrasik presented carries a deeply personal touch: itâs engraved with the Bible verse 1 John 4:19 â âWe love because he first loved us.â The verse, they say, reflects the foundation of their bond and the faith that continues to guide them.
Wedding Bells on the Horizon
The couple plans to marry this summer in Texas. Vandrasik expressed his gratitude for being able to share the engagement with viewers who have supported him both personally and professionally in Abilene.
Cheatham admitted she was completely caught off guard, but overjoyed. Sheâs excited for the life ahead, calling her fiancĂ©âs proposal both shocking and beautiful.
