Ryan and I met while I was sitting at the bar at Wassabi On Fire. I was celebrating a friend's birthday when all of a sudden, he reached around me to grab a couple of drinks for him and his friends. Not knowing that our friends know each other already, I had said out loud that I thought he was attractive. My friend of course repeated this to his friend and before I can turn around to stop her, the bartender handed me a drink that was sent from across the bar. As I look across the bar to see who had sent it, Ryan lifts his drink to cheers me. And it was history from then on.
After two extremely happy years of seeing each other non-stop, we decided to get dressed up and celebrate our two years anniversary with a fancy dinner. I had no idea where we were going, he said that he knew and to just sit back and relax. We had my daughter, Emma, with us because we were on our way to drop her off before we had dinner. Come to find out, our friends ended up being at the restaurant. (I didn't think anything of it because it is a running joke with our friends that they always show up on our date nights, but we always end up having more fun with them anyways). So we order a few drinks and laugh with our friends for a bit, when all of a sudden Ryan takes my hand, gets down on one knee, and proposes in front of the entire restaurant! BTW: Emma was in on it because Ryan had asked her if it was okay with her. We have no pictures from that night because I was so happy, I could not stop crying.
If you are reading this, and you are one of the invited guests, I sincerely hope that you are able to share this day with the both of us. We know it is going to be a night to remember!
