Ryan and I met when I was a sophomore and he was a freshman at Texas A&M. After many dates, it became very apparent to the both of us that we had found our match.
We got engaged after three years of dating. Ryan proposed on Kyle Field, the day following his Pro Day at A&M. As we were on our way to dinner at Café Eccell, Ryan got a call to do a last minute interview taking place at the field, which ended up being a ploy just to get me there. As we were walking toward the 50-yard-line, Ryan began telling me he was in love with me and wanted to spend forever together. As he continued with sweet words, he held a football in his hands and said, “If you catch this, it will be the catch of your life.” Thank goodness I caught the pass and just as I realized there was an engagement ring tied to the laces of the ball, Ryan was in front of me down on one knee. After taking multiple pictures, we went to The Dixie Chicken to celebrate with our family and close friends.
Ryan and I got married in College Station on the one-year anniversary of our engagement. We knew we wanted to get married in College Station since that is where we met and love everything about the town. Between my two older sisters, my mom, and our wonderful wedding planner, Dorothy Lackey, we were able to plan the wedding of my dreams. With soft pink and ivory flowers, the reception was whimsical and romantic. The wedding was over before we knew it, but we enjoyed every minute celebrating with all of our family and friends! It was a night that we will cherish forever.
