AFTER A NOT SO SUCCESSFUL TOUR OF APARTMENTS IN HUNTINGTON BEACH, ALLIE WALKED DOWN MAIN STREET TO FIND A SPOT FOR LUNCH. SHE DECIDED THE LONGBOARD PUB LOOKED CUTE AND PROCEEDED TO SIT AT THE BAR. FOLLOWING SOME FRIENDLY CHAT WITH THE BARTENDER, HEATHER, SHE FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF THE LONGBOARD'S REGULARS WAS FROM VIRGINIA BEACH. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, RYAN'S BUDDY, TERRY, STROLLED IN SHORTLY AFTERWARDS AND TEXTED RYAN THAT "A PRETTY GIRL FROM VIRGINIA BEACH WAS HANGING OUT AT HIS SPOT." RYAN, IN THE MIDST OF HEATING UP LEFTOVERS FROM A CHILI COOKOFF THE NIGHT BEFORE, LEFT THE CHILI AND BIKED UP TO THE LONGBOARD TO CHECK OUT THE GIRL FROM VIRGINIA BEACH. THE REST IS HISTORY.....UNTIL ALLIE ANNOYS RYAN AND HE REMINDS HER THAT HE SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN THE CHILI.

WITH THE CRAZINESS OF 2020 AND THE WHIRLWIND OF COVID, ALLIE AND RYAN DECIDED TO SNAG A WEDDING VENUE AND DATE FOR 2021. SINCE ALLIE KNEW WHEN THEY WERE GETTING MARRIED, RYAN TRIED HIS BEST TO MAKE THE PROPOSAL A SURPRISE. RYAN WANTED TO MAKE SURE HOAGIE WAS INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL PLANS, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING OBVIOUS. THE DAY OF THE PROPOSAL STARTED OUT LIKE ALL OF THEIR FAVORITE SUMMER SUNDAYS. THEY INFLATED THE POOL AND PLAYED MUSIC, WHILE CATCHING RAYS, ENJOYING BEVERAGES AND WATCHING HOAGIE RUN AROUND THE PATIO. AFTER A LITTLE BIT, RYAN GOT OUT OF THE POOL AND STARTED TO DRY OFF. ALLIE BEING NOSEY LIKE SHE IS SOMETIMES, ASKED WHERE HE WAS GOING. RYAN, TRYING NOT TO SPOIL THE SURPRISE, SAID HE NEEDED TO USE THE BATHROOM. HE QUICKLY GRABBED THE RING AND IN A MOMENTS NOTICE, FLOPPED INTO THE POOL WHILE SAYING, "LET'S GET MARRIED." ALLIE RESPONDED, "IT'S SO SPARKLY AND YES!"
