Noureen and Ryan were schoolmates who met in his senior and her freshman year. Unlike the average couple, it was Noureen who made the first move. "She messaged me on Facebook asking for a favor, and that started everything. We would talk hours on the phone and eventually, I fell in love," Ryan recalled. After 9 years of being together, he finally asked for her hand in marriage.
He had not one, not two, but three ideas of proposal planned. But the one that worked out was one that spoke about the couple's personality. "We love comfort food. So I talked to my friend, who's a branch manager of this one restaurant, and told him about my plan. I asked her colleagues for her ring size and after a month of planning, it was all perfect," Ryan said. One week before the proposal, the restaurant aired a commercial about love and it went viral, just the perfect timing for Ryan to ask his girlfriend out on a date there. "Everything went smoothly as planned and she said yes!" he said.
Again, unlike the average couple, it was Ryan who did most of the scouting and planning as Noureen's job as a flight attendant required her to travel a lot during the planning phase. "When we came across Angelfields Sanctuary, it was love at first sight. And with such a venue, having a modern-minimalist wedding wouldn't blend at all well with the aesthetics of the place. So we went for a more rustic feel with a touch of greens and geometric elements," Ryan explained. With ice grey and forest green for the bridal entourage, the mood was set. The couple also looked flawless and their happy expressions are simply priceless. Do you agree?
