Our Wedding

Let’s take it back to the fall of 1997. A blue-eyed boy was born in early September, and a brown-haired girl was born the following October. K-State football capped off a hot season with a win against Syracuse in the 1997 Fiesta Bowl. As fate would have it, this was not the last time these three entities would intertwine. Fast forward 24 years to the fall of 2021. K-State’s football season is in full swing. It’s a Friday night out in Aggieville and the ‘Cats are preparing to play conference opponent Baylor. It’s a busy night at O’Malley’s Irish Pub but amongst the commotion, two young hearts met for the first time. That young brunette caught the very blue eyes of that young boy, and so starts their story. Through the following year and some change, the two would share both good and bad times as they navigated their ever-changing young lives.&nbsp;While they both knew they were the ones for each other it seems to happen without fail that someone always drags their feet (Ryan). Finally, on January 1st, 2023, after a push from one of his best friends (Nathan), Ryan finally said the three following words, “You’re my girl.” While not the most romantic words to be said at such a time, they were just what Maddie needed to hear to know they were officially official. Another year passed by. Both Maddie and Ryan have graduated from their master’s program’s and moved back to Kansas City. First, the two spent some time living on their own, and then, after tiring of driving downtown, Maddie suggested the two finally decide to move in together. Now that they were living together, subtle hints (not so subtle) were dropped into Ryan’s ear about a proposal plan, but that didn’t stop him from doing what he did best, dragging his feet. Or so Maddie thought. Throughout their second year as a couple, Ryan joked with Maddie and their friends about the type of engagement ring he would&nbsp;eventually purchase, purposely getting little details wrong (taking a page out of his old man’s book). But putting the jokes aside and looking into their future, Ryan finally picked a place and a date to say those magic words to Maddie. Now, your guess is just as good as ours as to what they actually were (neither can remember) but most importantly, Maddie said yes!
