We were both student-athletes at the University of Florida and both of our teams were celebrating a rare mid-week off day before the season started. Our friends decided to attend "Techno Tuesday" in downtown Gainesville where we met through mutual friends on the dance floor.
We went to Asheville, NC for a weekend getaway and were hiking the Triple Falls Trail in DuPont Forest. We made our way to the first of three waterfalls along the trail. Carly was distracted trying to wrangle Bambino while Ryan fumbled through his fanny pack to pull out a doggy poop bag with a red box inside. Then Ryan got down on a knee, nearly slipped on the wet rocks, and proposed!
