How Our Love Began

Our love story had its true beginning in 2005-2006 with a little help from a small match maker named Daylee. We dated in high school for a while but eventually moved on and off to go to school and live our lives as young adults. Fast forward to 2012 we both made our ways back to our home town within months of each other. Love rekindled tho it never really went away. We could basically call it wrap at that. Equally realizing we finally had each other back and we weren't letting go this time. We have happily been together now for 5 years, and eager to celebrate number 6 only two months before we say our vows. We are truly blessed to say "I DO", knowing we each have our best friend at our sides and the love and support from our family and friends. There is undeniably something special about our relationship and how well we love and support each other and our passions.

How he popped THE question.

Paradise was the place 09-21-2017

The proposal was everything any girl could dare to dream of. Breathtaking, Beautiful and yes, unexpected. During our very first vacation together, that's right our very first, we had the most memorable moment of our lives thus far. Picture it. Puerto Los Cabos, Mexico. Seaside resort, unlimited food, warm sun rays and 80 degree weather. We were in the most amazing place. Relaxation and fun were all that was on our agenda. Well, that's what I thought. Little did i know I would become a fiance that week. We made plans to go on an amazing excursion. A sunset boat ride, tequila tasting, sight seeing and shopping. The whole day I was completely unaware that Ryan was holding a ring in his pocket, nervously checking all day to make sure it hadn't slipped out of his pants when he sat down. The last thing thing we did on this tour was the sunset dinner cruise. This was a huge yacht that we accompanied many people on for dinner, dancing and photo ops in from of the Arches of Cabo San Lucas and Lover's Beach. We leave port and begin sailing towards the Arches. Ryan casually asks me if I would like to go to the lower deck to the front of the boat so we could get a better view. So we head down to the bottom. The view was absolutely breath taking. Beautiful natural rock formations, a beach nestled in the midst of them and sea lions swimming beside our boat. As I'm caught up in the sea lions, Ryan grabs the photographer on board and asks him to take pictures of us. He does so and as I'm standing there posing for my next photo Ryan drops down on one knee. In front of all of these people and holds up this beautiful ring. He asks me to marry him! YES! YES! A Million times YES! I was shocked and elated. I was so happy that I was about to embark on the best journey of my entire life with my best friend and man of my dreams.
