Bri and Ron met through a mutual friend while Bri was in college. Bri’s friend, Keeley, was bound and determined to find her a boyfriend. Keeley was frequently posting pictures of Bri, when Ron saw one that peaked his interest. Ron decided after that he wanted to try and pursue her. At the time Ron and Bri lived a few hours apart but had a plan to meet up the next time she was in Salt Lake. She planned a weekend trip home shortly after beginning to talk to Ron, but had plans to go dancing at the Westerner with a few friends and her dad. She had invited Ron to meet her there, thinking there is no way this guy would actually show up, and lo and behold he did! Ron showed up having no idea what he was walking into, and on top of that he showed up in the ugly Christmas sweater he wore to a party earlier that evening. Bri was surprised to see him at that country bar and also wearing a Christmas sweater. Their conversations that night were brief and few and far between. She briefly introduced him to her dad as they were standing there together, and Dan simply said "Hey" and shrugged him off. As the night came to an end Bri, her friend, and Ron all left together. Bri and Ron awkwardly said their goodbyes and walked off separate ways. Bri told her friend when they got to the car, "I'll probably never see him again". Bri and Ron surprisingly continued to talk after that and Bri agreed to go on an actual date with him. Their first date went well and Ron and Bri would frequently visit each other driving back and fourth from Salt Lake to Logan. Their relationship progressed and they soon became inseparable. Shortly after Bri graduated from college the couple moved in together. Since then they have adopted a cute puppy, Korra, bought a house, and got engaged. They are excited for this next step in their lives together. ♥️
This past July Bri and Ron took a vacation with Ron’s family to Cancun, Mexico. Little did Bri know, this would be THE trip. The trip started out with a family excursion visiting a local cenote. The following day, was just like any other day spent out at the pool and after planned to have a family dinner. The family had told Bri and Ron they were planning on doing family pictures before dinner, so look nice. Bri didn’t think much of it and got ready for the night as usual. Ron on the other hand, had no idea what to wear and kept asking Bri, "which shirt looks better? What if I wear these shorts, would this shirt look okay?" Bri just told him yeah it all looks good, just put something on so we can go meet up with your family. She had no idea why he was so concerned with what to wear. Bri and Ron then met his family in the hotel lobby, then started to walk outside towards a restaurant for dinner. They came around a corner where a rose petal and candle heart was laid out in front of a balcony, with the beach in the background. Bri said, oh that's cute maybe we should take a quick picture in it, and Ron agreed. Ron’s sister, Kouri, offered to take their picture and secretly started recording them. She quickly said okay got it and as Bri started to leave the heart Ron said to her it was actually for them. He then gave a quick speech before asking the big question. He proceeded to kneel on one knee and pulled her ring out of a Zyn container! Her first thoughts were wishing her family was there to see this, and complete shock because of how oblivious she was that this all was happening. Once she said yes, Ron had one more surprise for her. She turned towards the main building and out walked her family! She was so surprised and had no idea that they had been watching the whole time. Needless to say Ron nailed the proposal.
