We appreciate those who were willing to be with us on our original postponement date, but the Covid situation has not improved as much as we had hoped. We hate the thought of one of our friends or family members getting sick at our wedding. The new date for our celebration will be July 31, 2021. We're disappointed to once again have to delay our plans to celebrate with all of you, but we hope that you can still be there with us on our special day. Please stay safe, stay well, and know that we're so grateful to have you in our lives. All our love, Tayler & Ryan

After Ryan moved back to Atlanta early in 2018, he began planning the proposal. He wanted to make sure both of their families were included in the special moment. The stars seemed to align when Ryan’s brother Nathan was scheduled to play a hockey game in Madison Square Garden the weekend after Thanksgiving. Ryan shared his plans with both the Krusko's and the Halen's, who were ecstatic and eager to help pull off the perfect surprise. On Friday November 23, both Ryan and Tayler’s families planned to meet in New York City for dinner and a show. Ryan joined Tayler and her family earlier that day for lunch and some Black Friday shopping. It probably wasn’t the best idea to walk around the city with the ring in his pocket, but Ryan managed to hang onto it while also not making Tayler suspicious of anything. Soon, Tayler’s parents went off to do some “Christmas shopping” leaving Ryan and Tayler alone. With the help of a hot chocolate bribe, Ryan convinced Tayler to take a stroll through Central Park (the weather happened to be in the 30s – not according to plan). The “spot” was Shakespeare Garden, a quiet, intimate area in the park with plenty of trees and bushes for the family to hide behind. Special props to Ryan’s brother Austin who kept everyone in check and hidden when Ryan and Tayler approached. It wasn't until she noticed the photographer that Tayler realized what was happening. She couldn't have been happier to say yes! Both families joined them, and hugs and congratulations were had all around. A long night of celebration followed, with Ryan and Tayler looking forward to the next chapter of their lives together.
