We're Getting Married!

On this day, Alyssa was moving into her dorm to begin her freshman year of college. Ryan was a sophomore and came to visit his old dorm and play ping pong. It was at the dorm in the recreation center that we first saw each other. California State University, Fullerton invited students living in student housing to take a bus to Target to buy last minute dorm supplies. Alyssa and her new friends were on their way to go on this Target trip and ended up being in the same elevator as Ryan. Both Alyssa and Ryan were eager to make new friends, so Alyssa invited Ryan to tag along to go to Target. On the bus ride to the store, Ryan asked for Alyssa's phone number and the rest was history...

Ryan wanted to recreate the first date he had with me, so he took me to Ruby's Diner on the pier at Newport Beach for lunch. He then took me to Crystal Cove at Laguna Beach to walk the beautiful cliffside trails overlooking the ocean. We spotted a bench to rest and take in the stunning scenery when Ryan finally got the courage to propose. I excitedly said, "Yes!," and we were engaged. We are thrilled to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. See you in Las Vegas!
