Little Rock couple Taylor Stanford and Ryan James are engaged! This fabulous couple will tie the knot on May 30 at the First Baptist Church in Benton.
We just love this super cute duo (look how happy they are!) and their engagement story. We featured their proposal last summer, and this engagement session from Tyler Rosenthal is just icing on the wedding cake! Here's what Taylor had to say:
Ryan and I first met in the science department at Ouachita Baptist University. He sat behind me in Physics and would “accidentally” kick my feet from time to time. I never knew that Ryan was interested in me until he asked if I could help him study before a test coming up… and I was terrible at physics. To ask me on our first date he mailed a box full of popcorn with a baseball buried in it with all the details of our night written on it, starting with a Travelers game. I was hooked.
After we graduated from college, we started talking more and more about getting married, but we still didn’t have a set timeline because we both have quite a bit of school ahead of us. I was in my first year of pharmacy school and Ryan had just been accepted into medical school at UAMS. After dating for almost 3 years, we knew we couldn't wait for the dust of medical/pharmacy school to settle before we began our lives as Mr. and Mrs. James!
I was under the impression that we would get engaged sometime in the fall of this year, but on May 26, 2014, Ryan surprised me with the sweetest proposal I could ever imagine. My dad and I love to take walks together, so Ryan had it set up to where my dad and I would take a walk through Wildwood Park. At the end of this walk, Ryan was waiting on me at the beautiful gazebo overlooking the pond, where he eventually got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. Of course all of our family was hiding in the bushes to celebrate with us afterwards!
Congratulations, Taylor and Ryan!
