Beca and Ryan met at a local dive bar in Boulder two and a half years ago. Beca was out with one of her co-workers who had invited some of her friends to join them. Ryan was one of those friends. Beca embarrassed herself by playing a horrible game of pool (sorry dad) against Ryan. Ryan won the game, the night came to an end, but no numbers were exchanged. Beca and Ryan ran into each other a couple of weeks later at a local brewery. It was slightly uncomfortable because Beca had to re-introduce herself when Ryan tried to play it cool and act like he didn't remember her. Beca was sure that was the end of their communication. However, Ryan was able to convince her to lose (again) in a game of darts, and they have been together ever since.

Beca and Ryan took a trip to Europe in October of 2018. They traveled to Belgium, Germany, and France. Beca and Ryan had been out walking all day in Paris and decided to find a quiet street with a restaurant. They found the perfect place away from the crowds, and enjoyed some appetizers and champagne. The restaurant happened to be next to a little park. They found a little park bench to wait for an Uber to take them to the Eiffel Tower, and Ryan got down on one knee and almost forgot to say any words. Luckily, he was able to manage to get out "will you marry me?", and of course, Beca said "yes!"
