"You and I are gonna get married", a semi common phrase that Ruth regularly said to her best friend Evan. She claimed that it was 'a fall back plan' or a joking 'marriage pact' but it was so much more. After months of joking about this actually happening, mostly Ruth claiming it and Evan denying it, the couple drove down to the Kankakee River to watch the sunset. After taking in the scenery, Ruth mustered up all the courage she had to understand the mixed signals that she was receiving. "Evan, either we are staying best friends and that is all we are going to be, or you are going to date me and marry me", she said. After a few seconds of silence, seconds that felt like hours, Evan turned to Ruth and said, "Ruth, let's do it." From there, there was no looking back, the claims that Ruth held throughout their friendship are now reality and this beautiful couple could not be happier!
