Ellie and Connor
...married! Amid family and friends, former Stedsman Connor Ryan '13 proposed to Ellie Peck '13 of Farley Hall on Friday, September 16th before the Michigan State game. The proposal was a surprise, and suffice it to say, it was a nerve wracking weekend as many secrets had to be kept. But despite keeping family and friends hidden, Ellie wasn't having any of "Let's go for a walk around the lakes." In order to get Ellie out and about as well as the photographer (conveniently hidden in a bush) to capture the moment, Connor's fellow Stedsmen convinced Ellie that they ALL wanted to go for a walk around the lakes. Without doubt Steds teamwork allowed Connor the opportunity to pop the question at just the right spot!
On the nerve wracking weekend, Debbie Ryan, mother to Stedsmen Connor and Brandon Ryan, said, "All were a bit nervous about "pulling it off." Everyone was also a bit nervous about the game because Gavin (Connor's dad) attended MSU (booooooo!!!!!). No doubt ND lost the football game because Gavin insisted on wearing his “lucky” MSU socks to the game. In the end, we may have lost the game, but we won with Ellie saying YES!" Yes, you did Debbie... yes you did indeed!
Congratulations and best wishes to Ellie and Connor!
