The summer before Samantha started her senior year of high school she became friends with a boy named Ryan. They began spending more and more time together and Sam’s parents started to wonder about this “friend” named Ryan. Samantha and Ryan quickly realized that their friendship was growing and on December 18th, 2012 Ryan asked Sam to be his girlfriend. Throughout each stage of life, Sam and Ryan grew more than they thought possible. Seven years into their relationship, Ryan met with Sam’s parents and asked for their daughters hand in marriage. They couldn’t be happier to welcome a new son. On New Year’s Eve, Ryan planned to have Sam’s two childhood friends join them to watch fireworks. Unbeknownst to Sam, Ryan had a diamond ring stuffed in his sock ready to propose as the New Year began. This is such an exciting time for Samantha, Ryan, and both of their families. They can’t wait to celebrate this much anticipated moment with all their closest friends and family.
