Ryan and I met September 5, 2010 after a few months of back and forth of online exchanges. We initially met online in 2009 but there was no immediate connection. After a year of just being friends on Facebook, Ryan messaged me and asked if he saw me at church that Sunday, and I responded, "No, if you saw me, you'd know it" This is where our connection began as it immediately felt natural just to talk to each other. Ryan and I dated for three years and were actually engaged to be married in 2013. Instead of getting married, we actually broke up. After a three year separation, God brought us back together. Our relationship began again but at a slower rate and long distance. We had no choice but to learn how to communicate with each other and more importantly figure out things. After a year of being long distance, Ryan moved closer and we were able to reconnect our relationship while picking up the broken pieces and just love each other like we were meant to from the beginning.

After a night on the town and visiting Ryan's favorite restaurant for the second time, Gino's Pizzeria, Ryan took Kelly for a ride on the Ferris Wheel downtown Atlanta and popped the question for the second time with a super cute Rose Gold Ring. We can't wait to celebrate with our Family and Friends in August! We hope to see you there!
