So, you ask a girl out on a date once, twice and maybe even three times and she turns you down. Do you give up? Well, Ryan certainly didn’t!   

He was determined to get the girl, Mellisha and it was only when he showed up at her house with a van load of ice cream, chocolate and milkshakes, did she give him a chance.

The couple met in 2014, through mutual friends. It was love at first sight for Ryan and while they chatted occasionally as friends, Mellisha wasn’t quite into him at that time. She said “No!” each time he asked her out on a date! Shame, poor Ryan!

But, Ryan had a plan! He loaded a van with ice cream, chocolate and milkshakes and drove all over town, looking for Mellisha’s house. When he finally found it, all the ice cream had melted! But his gesture won Mellisha’s mom over and it was the mom that convinced Mellisha to give Ryan a chance.

Now, how romantic is Ryan!? His proposal was carefully planned. Mellisha’s birthday was coming up and he planned a romantic breakfast on a cliff, overlooking a dam. Of course, Mellisha had no idea what Ryan was up to! It was there that he proposed to her.

Tonight, the couple invite the whole country to join them, as theyre joined in holy matrimony.
