This was Susanne’s anniversary gift to her husband celebrating 8 years of marriage. Here is their story, as told by Susanne:

Ryan and I met in the Fall of 1993. I was a freshman and he was a sophmore at Southern Methodist University.  I was getting into my car at Highland Park Village Shopping Center and Ryan rode up to me on his motorcycle looking adorable. He introduced himself and we talked for a nervous few minutes and our crush began. He was outgoing and funny and he knew just about everyone I didn’t. I was reserved and shy but enjoyed every exciting minute I spent with him. Little did I know he would be my first heartbreak. As the years passed we stayed good friends and he was always just a phone call away to “check on me.” He was loving and loyal and very persistent. So when the time was right our true love story began. We married on July 17th 2004 and have built a beautiful life and family together!
