Perhaps it was a Woman's intuition.... Or Ryan's inability to keep a secret, but Alyssa had a sneaky suspicion the proposal was coming....

2 days before they left for Ireland, Ryan had to run a 'mysterious' errand that he wouldn't disclose. Then, while on the phone with Alyssa, abruptly said "GOTTA GO!" & hung up.

The next day, Alyssa got home from work first, and was specifically told by Ryan: "Don't go rummaging in the guest room." Considering Alyssa never 'rummaged' before, this seemed a bit odd.

Finally, after loading up the suitcases, Alyssa realized she forgot to pack the lint brush, and asked Ryan if he had room in his backpack. "Sure" he replied. But when Alyssa went to put it in, RYAN WENT BERZERK!

"Whoa whoa whoaaaa! I'll put it in the backpack!"

Hmmmm.....

A few days later, we arrived at the Cliffs of Moher, and I was so taken by their beauty that I forgot all about hoping we'd get engaged.

We got to the top, & I was up ahead per usual. I guess Ryan had called out my name a few times while I just kept marching on, until he yelled "ALYSSA! TURN AROUND!"

And there he was on his knee!

All the people around us stopped dead in their tracks to watch. One lady yelled "Oh my god is that a proposal happening!?"

It sure was!
