Ryan-a groomsmen and I  a bridesmaid were eyeing each other all day.  We were both to shy to talk to each other, until Lacey-the bride, introuduced us. The moment we talked, we hit it off!  Ryan tried to impress me with ballet talk and make me laugh.  It worked!  We spent the whole night dancing and joking.  He literally swept me off my feet! :)  

Ryan was coming in town from Bethany, MO for a date night!  He was running a little late because of traffic. He called to tell me he was almost to my house, but got pulled over by the cops. I was so mad at him and told him we didn't need to go to dinner now because of his ticket!  When he arrived at my place he was smiling and in a good mood ( I didn't know why, because he just his first ticket!) He was unloading his car and brought in a shoe box wrapped in purple paper.  I opened it and saw purple converse tennis shoes-my favorite!  As I picked up the shoes, he was getting on his knees and I saw the note with the picture of us when we first met.  The note said, "Amy will you marry me?" and a picture of my cats saying, "Say, Yes!"  I couldn't believe it! He pulled out the ring and slid it on my finger.  I was still in shock that he was proposing! I then felt really bad for getting upset about his ticket!!

We will be getting married on April 27, 2013 at the First Baptist Church in Oak, Grove MO.  I will be wearing the purple converse tennis that Ryan used to propose to me. 

Our reception is at the Reinbolts in Oak Grove, MO immediatley following the wedding.  We will have dinner, drinks, and dancing!  My uncle Pat will be cooking the meats!  Wear your dancing shoes!

We want to thank all our family and friends that will be joining us on our special day!  We are very lucky to have all of you in our lives!
