Funnily enough, Elizabeth and Ryan actually met by chance. Elizabeth was convinced by her sister, Hannah, to ask Ryan to the Sadie Hawkins dance in March of 2017. Elizabeth was convinced that Ryan was a "safe date," meaning she could still stay single after Sadie Hawkins. Ryan, who originally wasn't planning on going thought to himself "Well she's cute. What's the worst that could happen?" And thus the beautiful relationship began. After having a wonderful time at Sadie Hawkins with Elizabeth, Ryan confided in his close friends for advice; these friends convinced Ryan to ask Elizabeth out on a date. Somehow the date went much better than expected and Ryan and Elizabeth continued to date even though Elizabeth wasn't sure if she liked Ryan. Luckily, Ryan won her over and Elizabeth took the reins on the relationship, "forcing" Ryan to ask her to be her girlfriend after their 3rd or 4th date. And from there, the relationship continued to blossom. And after nearly two wonderful years of getting to know each other, Ryan got the guts to ask Elizabeth to marry him, using his newfound talents at ukulele to win her over.
