THE FIRST DATE
Our first date lasted 5 hours. I mentioned to Ryan that I loved doing activities on a date, so he planned the whole night at Lucky Strike in Novi and did an amazing job! We hit it off right away. The conversation never stopped, nor did our competitive sides when we played all the games. We instantly felt a connection and made sure to go out again a few days later. 😊

THE PROPOSAL
Ryan pulled off the ultimate surprise. We had talked about getting married for months, but he kept saying he wanted it to be a surprise. I figured it wouldn’t be on my birthday, so I started thinking about how he would propose after it. He told me he really wanted to teach me to ice skate since my first experience wasn’t the best, and he said the lake would be the best because I wouldn’t have to worry about anyone falling or knocking me down. He kept trying to let go of my hands so I could skate by myself and I wouldn’t let him-almost ruining the surprise. When I finally let him let go, he dropped down to one knee and made me the happiest woman ever! ❤️
