Ryan and I were ice skating downtown at Millenium Park in Chicago.
We had been skating for about an hour and 1/2 and my legs were just killing me. As I announced that I was calling it quits and ready to head home, Ryan pulled me into the center of the ice rink, where he announced, "I have an important question to ask you".
I remember thinking, oh gosh, is he kidding? Is the question that I think it is? Am I ready for this?...
"Kyla will you marry me?" and there's Ryan as cute as can be, on bended knee with a BEAUTIFUL ring.
I remember questioning him, for real? are you serious, for real?
As he shook his head and nudged toward me the ring box, I smiled and said YES! of course, and put on my new ENGAGEMENT RING!
Dont ask me anything that happened after that becasue I was so stunned that I dont remember even getting off the ice.
To my surprise, my brother had been upstairs above the ice rink on a balcony filming and snapping pictures of us the WHOLE TIME! I heard him yell our names, I looked up and there he was; dressed in black hiding behind his coat, camera, and hat.
The next thing I remember is sitting in the ice skate rental building smiling at the new sparkley ring on my finger.
My brother, Ryan and I went around downtown and took some "engagement" photos. We got some really awesome shots!
We headed back home to see our parents. Ryan's mom and sister bought me a "Mrs Norman" basket with all kinds of wedding magazines in it.
Ryan and I went to show my grandparents my ring.
We ended our night by going to Ryan's grandpa's house and sharing the news with Ryan's grandpa, aunts and uncles.
We're so excited to finally be engaged! Excited about our wedding and excited about our future together!
