Ryan proposed on a quiet beach in Florida, just the two of us under the stars with music playing in the background. It was simple, intimate, and absolutely perfect. There was just one tiny problem… he accidentally left the actual ring back in North Carolina. Once he realized it, he even made a last-minute run to 7-Eleven hoping to find a Ring Pop before proposing (sadly, they didn’t have any). The next day, we found the cutest little sea turtle ring at a local gift shop to use as a placeholder until we got home. And don’t worry — the real ring finally made its appearance once we were back home. Honestly, the missing ring just made the story even sweeter, and I wouldn’t change a thing about our perfect little beach proposal.
