43a. Meet Ryan!

Hello everyone, my name is Ryan Rosengrant and I will be marrying Jonnelle Fabrizio on 11/11/11. Let me get a little bit into the story of how this loving couple came to be.

First we met through the magic and joy that is eHarmony. I know many people aren’t all for this, but if you want to find true love in the 21st century, this is a good way to get it started.

Jonnelle and I fell for each other in a very quick manner. Each of us has a semi-interesting story of how we knew the other was “the one”. For me it was when she and I were at Six Flags and we went on the bungee jumping ride. I am terrified of heights; I knew she had been sky diving before, so I figured she wasn’t going to be scared. I was wrong. We get up to the top of the jump and they let us go and she is holding my arm so tight. On a side note I had bruises and dig marks for a month, but it was all worth it.

When this jump was all over I knew that she was “the one” for me. By holding on that tight it meant that she trusted me. In my mind there isn’t anything in this world that is more important in a relationship than trust. If you don’t have that, you don’t have anything.

Her moment was a simple little moment but it meant the world to her. We were at the Philadelphia Zoo and she loves zebras. I mean loves them; she has a big zebra blanket, shoes, stuffed animals, slippers you get the point. Anyway, we were standing there watching the zebras and apparently we were there for a very long time. I thought I was just being nice, I knew she loved the zebras, what I didn’t know was she was falling in love with me.

Jonnelle and I got engaged on Christmas Day 2009 and have been planning the “big day” ever since. She is the typical girl that knows what she wants for the day and if anyone gets in her way, watch out. I will be on my best behavior.

This website is a little different than the type of writing that I have done in the past. I have written for The Temple News as a sports and opinion writer for the past two years. I was also a fantasy writer for the National Lacrosse League. For some reason I see this style and type of writing more up my alley. I always felt restricted, and couldn’t really get out there and speak my mind and true feelings. I believe this will give me the opportunity to do that. Thanks for reading and stay tuned, this will be fun.

-Ryan
