In a galaxy far, far away (San Angelo), two star-crossed lovers were set up by a mutual friend. A whirlwind young romance ensued. The next few months would leave what can only be remembered as some of the happiest months of the young adults' lives. And although their worlds were shattered by an extraterrestrial event (long-distance relationship), fate brought them together when they were old and gray...ahem...nearly 10 years later.
Rediscovering herself after a difficult stretch of life, Megan reached out to several old friends for guidance and companionship, including Ryan. The two reignited their friendship but after a brief period of time, it was clear that there were buried feelings from years past. Their friendship bloomed into a relationship that each found to strengthen the people they had become. Together, they built each other up in faith and started planning what a life could look like for them. Ryan graciously and eagerly became a strong character in the lives of Megan's two young daughters.
Knowing Megan's love for the TV show Friends, Ryan planned a Monica and Chandler-esque proposal. After a dinner with Mom, Megan came back to an apartment lit up with candles, soft music playing in the background, and photos of the couple displayed throughout the room. And although she may not remember every word of the proposal as she was also trying to calm Ryan's tense nerves, it was heart melting and without hesitation, Megan said "Yes!" to Ryan's "Will You Marry Me?" The two celebrated with both sets of parents and immediately began planning the big day.
