LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN

As we are all well aware Ella has a slight obsession with horses, so it is only fitting that she met her future husband at the barn. As a child Ella rode horses at Pine Ridge Equestrian Center with Ryan's older sister, Mary. Ryan was around the barn pretty often, but to be honest Ella found him to be quite annoying. Fast forward a few years to 2011, Mary stopped by the barn to visit one day with her not so little brother. And the rest is history.

Ryan told Ella the day he bought her ring, it was by no means a secret. In fact, he would hide it around the house and tell her to try and find it just to torture her. Since Ella knew he had the ring, every day turned into a waiting game. In late October Ella and Ryan went out to Georgia to visit Ryan's sister. They drove out to the barn where Mary told them she had a surprise for them. She made everyone put on blindfolds and walk out into the field, at this point Ella was convinced Mary was pregnant. But, when she took her blindfold off Ryan was down on one knee and the wait was finally over. We are so excited to celebrate the next step in our story with you! See you in Harshaw!
