The day that Ryan proposed to me caught me completely by surprise. It was a quiet Sunday morning, and we decided to take our little boat out for a ride on Santa Margarita lake. After enjoying being out on the water in the crisp early morning air, we decided to pull into a little beach to throw the ball for our puppy, Bailey. After a few minutes of playing and enjoying the beauty, my best friend who was with us offered to take a cute picture of me, Ryan, and Bailey. When I went to pose with him, I turned around to see Ryan down on his knee, and I was absolutely overcome with emotion. All I could do was cry out of pure joy and excitement. I had been waiting for this fairytale princess moment my entire life, and here it was. Ryan is the man of my dreams and I am so excited for this next chapter of our life together. Xoxo, Cassidy
