After living together and spending every day together for about a year, Ryan told Claire one day before he fell asleep, “I’m going to marry you someday.” Claire brushed it off as she figured Ryan was sleepy and had mentioned in the past that he didn’t really believe in marriage. A few days later, Ryan said to Claire again, “I really do want to make you my wife someday.” After many more of these conversations and Claire realizing that Ryan probably was not kidding, Claire decided to look at engagement rings online. She favorited a few on Etsy and at the end of July of 2020, Ryan purchased one of the rings. After quite of few weeks of waiting for the ring to be handmade in New York, it finally arrived on August 18th, 2020.
