Ryan moved to Orlando to live with his Best friend Adam who had recently reconnected with his high school friend Sarah, who happened to be Erin's best friend. Since Ryan was new to town he wanted to meet new people so the four of us started to hang out. Over the course of a year it started to be Erin and Ryan making plans to hang out with each other. We took our time getting to know each other and finally decided to give dating a shot!
What started out as a going away party turned into so much more! Erin went out to 310 Lakeside with her dad and Tammy for one last dinner together before we moved to Bonita Springs. After dinner Erin's Dad, Matt, convinced her to walk across the street to Lake Eola Park. There Ryan had some of our close friends and family, who came in from all over the United States, staged around the lake to give Erin hand written love letters (from Ryan). Erin walked around the lake collecting the letters, as the group of family and friends grew behind her. At the end was Ryan waiting for Erin at the lakes peninsula holding the last letter and eventually Erin's hand. With some sweet words and a bend of the knee there was only one more thing to happen, and that was Erin saying yes!
