Ryan and I met when we were in high school. I was in 9th grade and he was in 7th. One of my best friends thought he was sooo hot.... let's take a look back, shall we?
Yep. Total hotness. I can see why she wanted him. Back then, I couldn't stand him. I even went so far as to use the term "hate" when referring to him. He was rude and mean. He threw rocks at me. One night changed all that. After being forced to spend an ENTIRE day (heaven help me) with this boy, he picked me a flower. Well, he stole it from someone's window box... but it was still sweet.
I went home an announced to my sister that I was going to marry him. 3 years later, we had our first date. A month after that we called it quits.
5 years later, over too many drinks at a local bar, we, uh... re-connected. 9 months later, on March 7, 2006, we welcomed a son into the world. That Christmas my two men schemed up a proposal at their Gma's house. Natch, the ring was accepted. After almost 4 years of engagement, we've finally set the date for October 8, 2011. We can't wait to share our day with family and friends and make our committment official!
