Ryan and Becka met through social media when he saw a photo she had posted of her and her dog Kota. He messaged Becka and asked her on their first date. They went to Metals for dinner and walked around the Old Lexington Gardens. Soon after, Becka took Ryan home to meet Kota (the infamous dog from the picture). Everything was going well until hectic schedules made it difficult to continue their new relationship. The next school year, Ryan and Becka ran into each other at the gym, and as it would turn out Ryan had gotten a dog of his own. Obviously Becka had to meet the dog, and the rest is history,

Ryan proposed to Becka on the football field after his last regular season home game. They are excited to spend the future together and with their dogs.
