Our Engagement Photo
When Ryan and I first met, he took me on out to the East Coast to catch some hurricane surf with his family. After spending the weekend with him, I thought he was incredible. I called my mom the night we returned from our surfing adventure to inform her I had me the man I was going to marry. Of course, she asked if I was okay, because I never talked about any guys like that before. But, I just knew. It felt like there was a magnet that was pulling me to him.
When Ryan proposed, it was the perfect Missy and Ryan moment. He wanted to go to the beach to go kite surfing, but for some reason, insisted we go to his parents house first to get a wet suit, although we had one he could have used at our house. Finally, we arrived at Cypress Beach, the beach that has been our special beach for some time now. He decided we would eat the sushi lunch we had packed before heading out to kite board. He reached into the cooler and tossed me a small box wrapped in foil and asked me if I wanted some of his "special sushi." However, when I opened the box I realized it wasn't sushi at all! It was the perfect ring for me! He did such a great job picking out my ring (and I think he had some help from a very special lady). I'll always remember that day and how odd he was acting about the wet suit. I knew he had to be up to something and I was right! :)
We can't wait to take this next step in our lives together. The big day is February 20, 2010. We hope you can be there to celebrate with us!
