WITH LOVE COMES MARRIAGE

Ryan & I met our sophomore year of high school, at Bay Path. We had science class together. Ryan sat in front of me in class. We were both very shy back then, so we didn't talk to each other much. He would always try to copy my homework, because he forgot to do his 😂 I always thought he was super cute but never had the courage to say anything! Years later in 2017, we reconnected through social media. Ryan had messaged me asking how I was doing & the next day came over my house to visit. From there on, we were inseparable! It was basically love at first sight. We have been together every day since then. We instantly fell for each other. We were there for one another at a time where we both needed it the most. We became best friends but most of all, he became the love of my life. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else.

Ryan and I had planned a vacation to Cape Cod for our birthday (Same exact day, just two years apart) We booked a hotel in the Cape and spent 5 days out there. The morning of our birthday we woke up in the Cape. I had surprised him with birthday gifts as soon as he got up. He told me that I had to wait til later to get my gift. It was a beautiful day! We went out for breakfast, where I also got the phone call confirming that I was pregnant with our baby boy Chance Ryan. That was a huge gift in itself, we were so thankful. We then went shopping for a bit at a mall out there, & later went out for dinner to Olive Garden. After dinner we drove back to the hotel, where Ryan said let's head over to the beach before it gets dark so we can take some pictures together. We got to the private beach and set his phone up to take the pictures. We stood in front of the ocean, but little did I know that he actually set the phone to video instead. He stood there holding me in his arms and told me how much he loved me. That's when he got down on one knee and said "will you marry me?" & of course I said yes! It was the best birthday ever, for the both of us. One that we will never forget. 💍
