Sara and Ryan's Proposal Story


Listen Later

Sara and Ryan’s proposal story is one for the books—and the bubblegum machines. In this episode, we talk to the fun-loving couple about their long journey from college crush to creative proposal, and how Ryan turned a long-running inside joke into an unforgettable engagement moment. With a cast of supportive families, a sentimental pub, and one very convincing toy capsule, their story is full of laughter, love, and a few well-earned tears.

In This Episode:

  • 🧃 The party where it all began (featuring OG Four Lokos)
  • 💻 Why Sara credits her mom's computer club for this connection
  • 👑 Sara’s love for Princess Day at Bisons games
  • 💍 The multi-year wait—and why it was worth every second
  • 🧠 Ryan’s thoughtful and slightly risky proposal plan
  • 🎶 The inappropriate wedding song that wasn’t (but really made the moment)
  • 🥹 Why Elton John basically played their post-wedding party

Rapid Fire Fun:

  • Who said "I love you" first?
  • Their first dance song (hint: Bright Eyes gets the spotlight)
  • Dream honeymoon location… and why they’d still go back to St. Lucia

Quotable Moments:

“The only ring you'll ever get from me is out of a gumball machine.” “I didn't even realize Ryan had followed me to the toy machine—then I turned around and he was on one knee.”
