WE’RE GETTING MARRIED!

Its the first day of the semester in American Government class; Ryan sits behind Ashley. This continues for a few weeks, both of them unknowingly to each other are trying to beat the other to class first. Ashley tries to figure out if the professor is calling him Ryan or Bryan. Ryan tries to find something to start a conversation. He finally finds it when she's studying for her philosophy class, which he also has!! They begin talking and studying for this awful philosophy class together. The semester continues, Ashley learns he is training kids to run the OC Marathon, she wants to run a Half Marathon, they begin training that summer for the Long Beach Half Marathon (he bought himself more time with her, yay!!). Ryan brings her along to the running practices for the non-profit WeROCK he volunteers with to train middle schoolers to run a marathon, and they've been inseparable since. Running became a huge part of both of their lives. Ryan was deeply involved with WeROCK and Ashley was introduced to all the crazy that the Coach Ryan and the WeROCK running season had in store. She dove in head first and it became their life together. Year after year of early mornings and late nights, hundreds of runners and countless miles were spent together and they wouldn't have it any other way.

On a weekend getaway to Sedona, Arizona they go on an early morning Jeep tour through the beautiful red rocks. They stop at an overlook, take a not so safe treck to a secluded spot on the side of a mountain with the tour guide, Ryan gets down on one knee and pops the question!
