The Proposal
Some might say the hardest part of the proposal is asking the bride's father for permission; however, Ryan knew the toughest part of this proposal would be getting past Taj’s sister, Tina. Ryan and Tina worked together in secret to plan the most memorable night, revisiting Ryan and Taj’s early romance together in Cincinnati from a different perspective—a bird's eye view. After surprising Taj with a helicopter ride, the couple first toured their home in Mason, then flew over the famous Dana Gardens at Xavier’s Campus, and then over their beautiful city Cincinnati where Ryan asked Taj to be his wife. Below, unknown to the future bride, Ryan had one more surprise up his sleeve—family. Gathered on the helicopter pad, Taj and Ryan’s family gathered to welcome the happy couple out of the clouds and back to earth. Harry and Mike joked amongst themselves about what if Taj said no and one of them said: then Ryan would have to push her out of the helicopter. Thankfully, Taj said YES.
For all the days along the way
