In September 2015, we both took a shot at applying for a public relations internship program in St. Louis. Little did we know it would change much more than just our resumes. We connected instantly and quickly became close friends. A few months into the internship, Ryan planned a surprise birthday celebration for Stephanie, taking their entire intern class to a St. Louis Blues hockey game. The Blues lost that night, but Ryan won Stephanie's heart.

While vacationing on the North Shore of Oahu, Ryan asked Stephanie to take a stroll along the beach to watch the sunset. Once we made our way to the other end of the beach, Ryan got down on one knee and popped the question! Best. Vacation. Ever!
