Ryan was originally planning on proposing during the Nashville 4th of July fireworks but our pup, Roman, was a little excited running down a wet hill and it got the best of him (and his hip) so we had to cut our evening short (Roman recovered after a week of forced rest 😜 ). The following Saturday, we had date night and headed out to grab some BBQ as a storm was rolling in. After stuffing ourselves with delicious food, we headed home to watch the rest of the storm from our swing on our front porch. In a very "us" fashion, Ryan looked over and asked Kelly if she would say yes if he asked. Of course Kelly said yes, and we're excited to celebrate the start of our forever with our family and friends.
