We met in 2009 at the most romantic place on earth: WeFest. My girlfriend, Brandi had invited me to come with her and people from her hometown. They went every year and she knew that I would have a blast. Ryan happened to be one of those people. A few months after WeFest we reconnected and have been together ever since!

I wanted to go for a walk so Ryan took Lola (our furbaby) and I down to Park Point in Duluth. It was a gorgeous day in March and we walked through the woods and then the beach. Just hanging out and talking; enjoying a rare warm day in Duluth. We were just goofing around Ryan was tossing snowballs at Lola and she was ignoring him (she is a schnauzer after all). We started making a snowman and gathering supplies to outfit him. We were just about done when he very traditionally got down on one knew and popped the question. It was perfect! I had however asked for no one to be around so we had to walk back a few miles to have someone take our picture! Ha.
