How It All Started

05/2013-09/09/17

I was out for a night of Karaoke with one of my girlfriends at Charlie Horse. We both were singing along to every song because lets face it, two drunk girls love ALL The songs. As her and I decided to walk up to the bar, I literally bumped into Ryan...Didn't know who he was at the time, but my GF did, so she proceeded to introduce him to me as "Footer". I received an awkward stare as he didn't say much to me, and all I could think about was "Man this guy is a jerk"! All awkward conversation aside we continued our night as planned. Fast-forwarding a couple weeks, I went with my GF to her friends house for dinner. Here is where I met the oh so infamous "Footer" all over again (turns out it was his house). We had another introduction and I'm glad we did because it was a great night of barbecuing, stories, and lots of laughter...Later on I receive a message from him asking if I wanted to help build a fence at his brother's new house...What guy in his right mind REALLY needs help from a girl in this category. I went anyways and attempted to do just that. This began a 4 year On-again, Off-again friendship...No matter what, we always managed to keep tabs on each other. I don't even think I had spoken to Footer for nearly a year, and I was attempting to move back home from Miami. I simply messaged him with a: "You wanna do me a favor and help a sista out?"...he was quick to respond and in short time he was making the 5 hr drive and moved me back to Ocala that night...it FINALLY clicked that every thing was right there in front of me. Now here we are!

The Proposal

08/25/2019

We took a family trip to Canada for his great uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. Family from all over, including Holland traveled for the event. After meeting a ton of new family members (miserably failing to remember everyone's names) we said our goodbyes and used our last day in town to be tourists. Immediately I replied with: Niagra Falls!..Said and done! We drove an additional 3 hours to get there and when we went to check in the hotel, Ms. Janice upgraded only Ryan and I to a suite...Now idk if i'm really that gullible or what; I just thought it was a nice gesture and didn't think a single thing of it...that day Ryan was acting so weird! He wouldn't hold my hand, wouldn't talk to me...I was getting upset. We had made it to look at the falls and it was literally breath taking! While there, we met up with his aunt and uncle (his uncle is always handy with a camera...again I'm so gullible). So we all go back to the falls and I'm looking around and walking ahead of Ryan and his sister-in-law Renee is pointing out places to "look" and "take pictures"....and BAM! I hear: "Audrey Marie". I turned around in shock because I've never heard Ryan say my name so sternly...and there he is on one knee with the biggest smile in the entire world! I couldn't do anything but stand in shock...his family replied with:"are you going to say anything"? And I just lose it and the flood gates open! Of course I said yes, but I could barely utter the words.
