We know, we know... We’re FINALLY getting married!

We met back in high school... High school band to be exact. We both played the clarinets (not very well I might add) so we ended up sitting together in the back, which is how we got to know one another (and probably why neither one of us got any better at the clarinet). That year we got to go to the happiest place on Earth for our band school trip... That's right, we went to Disneyland, which is where the magic quite literally happened. After the trip it didn't take Ryan long to ask me out and the rest was history. Cut to one of my favorite days, August 18th, 2018, Ryan and I talked about getting out and exploring more of Ohio so we found some hiking trails and thought we'd make a day out of it. When we woke up that morning, the weather reports said we'd get caught in rain all day (boo!). I kept suggesting we push it back to the next weekend, however, Ryan insisted that we go. It turned out to be a gorgeous day hiking! The rain stayed away and we got to see so many beautiful waterfalls. There was one waterfall in particular that we wanted to see, but when we got there it was closed for a wedding! Bummed that we wouldn't get to see it, we continued hiking and about an hour later Ryan insisted that we back track and try seeing it before going home. Hot and tired, I reluctantly agreed and thank goodness I did! When we made it back to the waterfall, we sat off to the side for a quick water break and that's when Ryan handed me a book he made of our love story. I sat trying to keep myself together as I read our beautiful story and at the end Ryan was down on one knee asking me to marry him. Talk about the most perfect day ever! That is, of course, until this coming August when we get to become husband and wife and celebrate with you! We. Can't. Wait!!
