Ryan and I first met at a restaurant and bar called Brass Tap, located at the Harbor in Rockwall, TX. I was enjoying a meal and drinks with a friend, while Ryan was meeting a work colleague for a drink. The moment Ryan walked in, I glanced at my friend and pointed him out, saying, "I want to talk to him." As an introvert, I was too shy to approach him directly, so I had my friend go over and invite them to join us. It took what felt like forever for them to make their way over—he was definitely playing hard to get! But once they did, Ryan and I immediately hit it off. A couple of weeks later, he took me on a date, and the rest is history!

Ryan organized a thoughtful photoshoot as a surprise for our 4 year anniversary. Little did I know, he had something special in store for me that day. He worked behind the scenes with the photographer to set everything up, keeping all the details a secret. As if that wasn’t enough, he also arranged a surprise dinner afterward, gathering all our closest friends to celebrate the engagement together. It was an unforgettable day filled with love and surprises.
