And the year, 2006 proved to be the life-changing year for the couple as Ryan proposed Liza with a large ring, making them engaged.
But wait! The story of engagement is not over yet.
Ryan and Liza got engaged in November 2006, after Ryan proposed her with a ring while on their outing. But the idea of buying a ring got so awkward for Ryan as he had purchased the ring from their joint bank account, which made him harrassed more after the card got denied while Liza made few purchases at an area Gap store.
Rayn re-called the moment saying:
"So I was like, ‘Oh, man.’ I had to figure out from the Gap to my house how I was going to propose to her. Luckily, the ring was in the car. We drove by all these fancy places. I asked her if she wanted to grab some dinner and sit by the lake. It was November, and she was like ‘Why would I do that? It’s freezing outside!’ All she wanted was McDonald’s. She ordered probably a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets and had sweet-and-sour sauce on her face."
However, he popped the question thinking it was the perfect setting, and that was, a happy moment for both.

"I haven’t seen a reason to take it off, I guess. It stands for something. It’s not like I’m trying to throw a message in anybody’s face. It’s just a personal thing between my wife and me. It’s important for me not to take it off."
