We’re getting married!

Ryan and Julie met one another briefly while in high school. Ryan had tried to talk to Julie, but Julie wasn’t interested. Eight years later, fate would have it that they were both getting dinner at the same resteraunt. Julie was getting dinner with her parents and Ryan was with some friends. They both remembered one another from high school but didn’t know what to say. Ryan may have told his friends that night that he had a feeling he was going to date Julie. Ryan took the challenge and decided to talk to Julie the next day. They both realized they enjoyed one anothers company and eventually Ryan asked Julie to dinner. After 8 years, Julie finally agreed and they had their first date on May 5, 2018. God grew Julie and Ryan in many ways through good and bad the next two years of their relationship. Fast forward two years, Ryan knew that he wanted to ask Julie to be his wife. After some planning, Ryan planned to propose on May 5, 2020 which would be two years since their first date. After having dinner with Julie’s parents that day, Ryan suggusted that he and Julie go for walk by New Buffalo beach. Julie agreed to go and naturally asked to take the family dog, Maggie, along. Julie’s mom suggusted Maggie sit this walk out. Julie found this very odd, but little did Julie know, Ryan had some big plans for this walk. While walking at the beach, Julie could tell Ryan was becoming nervous but as soon as they got to the specific spot, Ryan tripped down to one knee and asked Julie to be his wife. Julie quickly said yes.
