Tanya: The first words Ryan sent me were "hey, what's up?" It was unlike me to respond to something so generic, but I took one look at his guitar and decided "egh, why not?" I messaged him back with little expectations. After hour long conversations and our first nervous bus meeting, I quickly fell in love with his dedication to growing our relationship, but I wanted to play it cool. So when he said "I love you" first, I said "thanks." However, my coolness could only stay for so long because I knew Ryan was and is the man with which I wanted to have adventures. It may be cliche, but I cannot see my happiness existing without him. His guitar suckered me to talk to him, but his soul keeps me beside him. Ryan: I sent her a message on social media one day and said “hey there, whats up?” That was enough for me to get in and start talking with her. She totally felt the charm and charisma that was to come. Having non stop chats over Facebook for hours and hours everyday felt like minutes because I enjoyed reading every word from her. After meeting for the first time on the bus and then having deep conversations at the park, I knew that she was the one for me. Of course she would lie about the music she liked just to get me to love her more, but that wasn't necessary. This is a perfect match made in heaven, and I’m glad for all the time I've spent with her. I am looking forward to the adventure that's ahead of us.
Tanya: Looking back, I should've recognized his nervousness because it was the exact same nervousness from the day we met. It was the second night of our cruise and he had been acting so odd from the moment we had set foot on the ship. There was a beautiful sunset and I wanted to take a few pictures. However, he kept insisting that we go somewhere more private. I was being stubborn and didn't want to keep walking down the deck. He finally gave a sigh of resignation once he realized I wasn't going to leave my spot and got down on one knee. I honestly cannot remember his exact words because all I kept saying was "Are you serious?" I was in complete shock and could not believe that my dream of marrying Ryan was finally coming true. I cannot wait to start this new adventure with him. Ryan: It was on a cruise ship with a beautiful sunset in the background right before an elegant dinner. One of the best moments in our lives happened on one of our most relaxing and best vacations we've ever had. This proposal is what will make this vacation unforgettable!
