How we met

Our first date was at Brick & Mortar in Albany, OR we met up for a breakfast date at 8:00 am and we both could not stop talking, the conversation was flowing so well and we had instantly clicked. Our waitress was amazing and funny, she had told us she could tell it was a first date and it was by far the best one she had seen. she was cracking jokes about a safe word if we needed to get out and leave. The date ended up lasting till noon. the only reason it ended was because i had a job interview to go to at 1:00 pm . He texted before i had even left the parking lot wishing me good luck on my interview (i got the job) I felt that everything was too good to be true but i had promised him we would complete three dates. It took me an entire month to go on our second date. He picked me up in the morning we went on a hike then to the coast where a professional photographer was secretly taking photos of us, He approached us once we walked closer to shore and told us he had taken photos and that we looked amazing together. he thought we had been together for 8 years or something. He sent us those photos which is now hanging on our walls! again i thought wow this is all too good. so another month had passed before going on the third date. Our third date was Ryan's friends wedding. Again he picked me up in the morning we had a long drive ahead of us. we stopped for food before the wedding at Taco Bell where he slide the "will you marry me" sauce packet. I being the bold woman i am took the packet, opened it, poured it on my food then threw it away. He actually found this very funny and has since been continuously in various ways proposing. more than a few tries later i finally said yes and here we are !
