Wedding Date on Dec 21, 2019

Heather & Ryan were both students at USF in Tampa FL. Heather worked at the USF gym and Ryan worked out all the time. Through some random turn of events, Heather ended up subletting a room in Ryan's apartment. It all started out chill and just friends, but as their friendship grew, they really started to fall hard. They both tried to fight it out of fear of a relationship crashing and burning, and it potentially ruining our living situation. After a long night of cooking dinner together, sneaking into their apartment pool and talking, they basically gave in. The next morning, Ryan knocked on the door of Heather's bedroom and asked her to come meet his family. She said yes and they spent the day at his childhood home. That was technically their first date. The rest is history. Unbeknownst to Heather, Ryan had her plan their own proposal. Every holiday is the same. Heather coordinates with both of their families and they have a large family get together at someones house. Ryan's parents house is on the water in St. Pete and is perfect for fireworks and a 4th of July cookout. So she went to planning. Her mom, nephew, brother, and sister in law all came over and hung with his whole family gathered for a day of food, sunshine, swimming, and drinks. She had no idea that the fireworks show that night would be anything different than any other year, and neither did her family. Ryan's dad helped him turn their upstairs room into a candlelit oasis. Heather and her family had no idea any of this was happening. As the sunset and the fireworks were going off over the water in the distance. Ryan led her upstairs where their families were gathered around candles and lights. In the home Ryan grew up in, where they had their first date 6 years prior, in front of those they love the most , Ryan got down on one knee on a balcony overlooking the water and asked Heather to be his wife.
