On the morning of June 19, 2021 Ryanna and Andrew drove to Orlando to meet with Ryanna’s long time friend and “Man of Honor,” Sammy for brunch. Andrew made an excuse as to why he wouldn’t be able to join brunch as he needed to meet up with a friend. Ryanna thought that Andrew was simply going off to plan for a future proposal but little did she know that her brunch date with Sammy would soon take an exciting turn!

Sammy told Ryanna that he had a surprise for her after brunch. Ryanna got in Sammy’s car as they drove all the way to the airport. As soon as Ryanna realized where they were headed, she got butterflies in her stomach- she knew this could only mean one thing! They pulled into the Cell lot at the airport and duct-taped to the parking block was a note in a ziplock baggie. Ryanna opened the note and read the first clue to her proposal scavenger hunt! All day Andrew’s clues took Ryanna and Sammy to all of the different places that had been so memorable in the beginning of Andrew and Ryanna’s relationship- The “airport” to symbolize the long distance, the first hotel they ever stayed at together, a beautiful little pavilion in Baldwin park where they watched the sun rise, the infamous iBar and Big Daddy’s, and several other locations which finally led Ryanna to Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando. There Andrew was waiting, ring in hand to ask Ryanna to marry him in the very same spot he first asked her to be his girlfriend a year earlier. Of course, she said yes!
