We are getting married!

We met in autos club. My friend at the time was in autos club junior year of high school. This club was in school and groups of kids would tare down an engine block from start to finish. There was a girls, boys and advanced group where there was groups of five kids. My friend at the time knew that I was really good at being organized and he recommended me to go and try it out for the girls team. When I went, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. That is where I met Ryan. He was on the advanced team but all of us practiced at the same time and place. After a six months of being the bench girl for the girls team. I loved being on the bench and organizing all of the parts. The advance team all graduated except for Ryan who was a junior at the time. So when senior year started he picked me and three others from the guys team to be on his team to start the new advanced team. I also started an autos class since I had no clue about cars and wanted to get to know what was in them and how to change a tire. After being picked to be on the advanced team, Ryan and I become close as friends. I helped him with English homework and he would bring me coffee every morning at school. Our advanced team was really cool. We had the fastest time which is what you wanted to have to travel to different places to compete. In December of 2016, we started dating and now we are getting married.

We got engaged over our New Years vacation. Our vacation started when my family, myself and my fiancé got on a plane on December 26th. We were flying to Punta Cana for New Years. I had no idea that he was going to purpose, but he had told me that I was not to look into his backpack at anytime and that only he could get my things that I had brought on the plane with me. This did not cross my mind. When we got to our hotel room, I was told again to not go into the safe for any reason, but I did not think to look into the safe at anytime. As the week was getting closer to the night of count down. I got to pick out Ryans outfit as well as mine. He look super cute in the outfit that I had picked out. As the night was getting closer, we all found tables and chairs to sit with everyone waiting for the count down. We also got champagne too. When we were counting down, Ryan got down on one knee and as I turned to kiss him. He pulled out a ring! I was super shocked and was crying. I had to shake my head yes because I had so many happy tears. He asked me again and then I was able to say yes as he placed the ring on my finger and kissed me. It was the best night and a night to remember as well.
