Ryan and I first met at Penn State. We were both in the same class, and of course he sat right next to me. We talked back and forth during the class and later that night he found me on Facebook. He messaged me and we exchanged numbers. I tried to play hard to get for the first few weeks until I finally gave in and hung out with Ryan outside of class. We really hit it off and Ry asked me to be his girlfriend on March 23rd 2015. We made it out of college together and continued our journey for 6 years.
On December 12th, 2021, we had plans to go down to Bethlehem, PA to walk around Christmas City. I had planned this entire day... Little did I know Ryan had BIGGER plans in mind. We ended up walking out towards this big, beautiful Christmas tree. Everyone wanted to get a picture in front of it, including Ryan and I. We took the picture, and I began to walk away to continue my shopping. Everyone was yelling my name to stop walking away. I turn around and find Ryan on one knee holding the ring of my dreams. I was so surprised and shocked that I didn't realize my family was there as well. It was so nice to have both our families there to share this special moment.
