The ceremony is beautiful, everything running perfectly. Time comes for the reception everyone is dancing and having great craic. Time comes for the bouquet toss Amy and Amanda are both out on the floor, and the bouquet comes right at Amy. "Well Aim, you know what that means," asks Amanda.
"Yeah yeah, like that's gonna happen," says Amy.
"Well we'll just see about that," replys Amanda, who on her day off from class a few days ago was shopping with Keith looking at rings for Amy. Everyone continues on their way dancing and having a great time untill the early morning. Meagan and Damian leave for their honeymoon.
A couple of days later Amy gets a phone call from Keith, "Hey Amy girl, do you have anything planned for today?" he asks.
"No why?" she answers.
"Grab your wetsuit we're going surfing" he replys. He picks her up at the girls house andd him and Amy are off to the beach. Enjoying the beautiful waves and calming affect of the ocean, Amy and Keith both head out into the water, thankfully no near drowning this time. They spend the entire day in the water. As the sun begins to set Keith ans Amy are lying on the beach, she laying her head on his chest. "Amy, you know you are one of the most amazing lasses I have ever met. I hope you feel the same about me as I do about you," says Keith. Pulling himself and Amy up out of the sand, he gets down on one knee and opens the ring box revealing a beautiful, white gold claddagh ring, "Will you marry me?" he asks.
"Keith, Oh my...Yes i'll marry you," replys Amy pulling him up from his knee and kissing him.

Amy heads to class while Amanda gets ready and goes to the school where she is student teaching, which is St. Pat's in Armagh.
"Wow, this looks familiar," Amanda says to herself pulling up in the parking lot. Walking into the school she looks around at the trophy cases and sees a picture of a young Ryan, still with those beautiful steel blue eyes and amazing smile. "Thats why this place looks familiar, it Ry's old school," she adds. She goes to the classroom and observes for the first day, the children seem to really take to her and enjoy being around her. Her first day finishes and she is off to find some lunch, as she walks out of the classroom she runs into Ryan.
"Amanda, hi there," replys Ryan.
"Ryan hey, what are you doing here?" Amanda asks.
"Oh, we have the day off so I decided to stop by and visit one of my former teachers, what are you doing back here," questions Ryan.
"I'm an education major and this is where I am doing my student teaching," she replys.
"Well, while I'm here would you like to go and get a bite to eat," he continues.

After Amy finishes her class for the day she meets up with Ryan and Keith outside the theatre. "Hi guys, how are you both?" she asks.
"We're great how are you?" aks Keith.
"I'm good, so I hear that someone needs help choosing a ring?" questions Amy looking at Ryan.
"Guilty, would you mind terribly helping me Aim," coments Ryan.
"Not at all Ryan, in fact I believe that she helped Keith finalize his decision on an engagement ring," says Amy with a little smile.
"What? How did you... she said she wouldn't tell," states Keith.
"Oh, she didn't I just had a suspicion by the way she was acting," replys Amy. "So I guess we better be off to the jewelers then, bye Keith," she adds giving him a kiss.
"Bye, love you," answers Keith.
"Love you too," she replys.
With that she and Ryan are off to several jewelery stores making sure that he has found the perfect ring for Amanda. Ryan stares at several rings at the last shop that they visit, feeling that he has become very close to Amy and sees her as a little sister and good friend, Ryan trys out his proposal speech on her and judging her reaction to each of the rings. They finally settle on a 3 stone ring with small diamonds on each side of a sapphire stone. "Ryan, that is perfect," states Amy.
"You think so," asks Ryan.
"Please Ryan, it's perfect and the man who will be giving her the ring asking her to marry him is perfect as well. The girl would be insane to tell you no, and if she does i'll set her right," laughs Amy.

Later that evening Amanda is sitting watching TV, "What you wanna do tonight?" she asks.
"Lets go out to one of the pubs," says Amy. "But first lets pick out some outfits," she adds draging Amanda to the closet.
Amanda grabs a gorgeous pink dress and pulls out a beautiful blue dress for Amy. "Wait why do we need to be all dressy going out to pubs?" questions Amanda.
"Good question," replys Amy trying to think of an answer just as the doorbell rings.
"Evening Amy, how are you?" asks the male voice coming through the door.
"I'm great Ryan thanks, and yourself," replys Amy with Amanda walking around the corner behind her.
"Amanda, you look gorgeous," Ryan replys.
"Thank you Ryan, I didn't know that you were comming over," she replys.
"Amy didn't tell you," says Ryan.
"No, I didn't Ry. I wanted it to be your surprise," says Amy.
"Woah, what do you two have planned," asks Amanda somewhat confused.
"Trust us dear, you will love what we, HE, has planned," says Amy.
"Shall we love," says Ryan.
Amanda and Ryan are off on their way to a cute little restaraunt, next to the lake, that Ryan had reserved earlier. A few minutes after they had left Amy heard another knock at the door, grabing the dinner out of the oven she heads to the door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ryan, this place is amazing. How did you find this place?" asks Amanda.
"My brother actually told me about it, he and his girlfriend, now his wife of several years, had their first date here," he replys.
"Oh, really how sweet," she replys.
The two enjoy a lovely meal and order dessert, Ryan takes Amanda's hand, "Amanda, I've been trying to figure out a way to say this for a while now. You are simply amazing, beautiful, smart, just wonderful. So here it goes, Amanda will you marry me?" asks Ryan.
"Oh Ryan, I... Yes, Yes I would love to marry you." says Amanda.

---------------------------------back at Amy and Amanda's house---------------------------------------
Amy goes to open the door, "Hello love, how are you?" Keith asks.
"I'm grand, thanks. How about you?" she asks.
"I'm great and I must say you look stunning," he replys.
"Thanks Keith, I had to work an excuse on Amanda to get her ready for her dinner with Ryan tonight," says Amy.
"He's proposing tonight then?" asks Keith.
"Yes, he was getting rather impatient trying to figure out the right timing, so he figured no time like the present," she adds. "And speaking of dinner I just pulled ours out of the oven."
The two of them enjoy a lovely dinner, with some soft music in the background and enjoy a nice conversation about their days. When they are finished eating Keith moves the sofa in the livingroom and makes an area just big enough so that they can dance, he pulls Amy up from her chair and they have an enjoyable time laughing and dancing.
----------------------------------------back at the restaraunt--------------------------------------------------
"Ryan, have I told you yet how amazing you are?" asks Amanda. "If not, Ryan you are absolutly amazing," she adds.
"Well now you have," he laughs. "And it wouldn't be near as amazing with out you here," says Ryan. As they leave the restaraunt they enjoy a lovely walk along the shore of the lake, before they head back home.
"Thank you for a wonderful night Ryan," says Amanda.
"My pleasure love, and thank you as well for making me a very happily engaged man," he replys.

sorry it took me a while to update had to think up a good one.
Meagan and Damian are finally back from their honeymoon to Spain. Keith tand Amy plan a small get together, with the rest of Celtic Thunder, to welcome the couple back.
"So any news that we should know about," asks Meagan.
"Well lets see, not a lot, except the fact that both Amanda and I are engaged now," grins Amy.
"What?!" says Meagan. "Keith Harkin, why am I just now learning about this," she adds.
"Well, the four of us have been a little pre occupied," he coments.
"Very true, I guess I'll forgive you this time," meagan replys.
"So, how was your honeymoon," says Amy trying to change the subject.
"It was great, Spain is so beautiful with the beaches and warm weather," replys Meagan.
The party continues with everyone welcoming Damian and Meagan back and Sharon announcing the new tour. "Although I do have some bad news. Ruth and Joyce have decided to persue there own adventures in New York," says Sharon.
"Oh no, who are you going to get to replace them," Amanda and Meagan ask.
"I'm not sure yet," replys Sharon. "Anyone here know how to play a violin?" she asks.
"Amy and Amanda do,"says Ryan.
"Ryan, we haven't played in ages, I don't even know if I remember how," replys Amanda.
"Well that's better than nothing, rehersals start in a couple weeks for you girls to get you all prepared," answers Sharon.

"This is intense," says Amanda.
"That it is, but what can you expect. Sharon wants everything to be perfect and you can't blame her look at the rest of the talent here," answers Amy.
"Morning girls," replys Sharon walking into the room. "Oh, I almost forgot, I have a surprise for you girls," she adds.
"Morning Sharon," they reply. Really, what's the surprise?" Amy asks.
"The solo bits that are in Lough Swill railway, I'm gonna let you two lasses handle them," answers.
"You trust us with those Sharon?" questions Amanda.
"Yes I do, what I just walked in on was sounding fantastic. I think that I chose the right girls to help us on tour," coments Sharon. "Now, shall we go check on the lads and see if they are behaving," she laughs.
They walk to a room that was down the hall from where the girls were."Hello boyos, how are we getting along?" asks Sharon.
"We're grand Sharon," replys George.
Ryan and Keith are walking up behind the girls mouthing to George and Damian to keep quiet. Sneeking up on the girls wrapping their arms around them, they both scream. "Ugh, why are you all wet?" question Amy and Amanda not noticing the water guns int heir hands, and Paul comes from hiding in the corner looking soaked as well.
"Lads, would you mind telling me what was going on here?" states Sharon sternly.
"Damian, that's all I have to say," replys Keith.
"Well I didn't hear you objecting to a water fight?" Damian interjects.

"Well now can get back to work instead of playing games lads," replys Sharon.
"Yes ma'am" the lads reply. They finally get through the rehersalsand are ready for tour and are headed back over to the states.
The beginning of the tour goes smooth, the shows are practically sold out. Then comes time for the St. Louis stop of the tour which they have an extra day off here. The lads being there several times before, but still don't quite have the inside scoop of how to get around and what all there is to do, Amy and Amanda take everyone on a whirlwind tour of the city taking them back to the arch, John's irish shop, a walk through forest park, and of course Ted Drewes for frozen custard.
"I love having a fiancee from here, who knows all the good places to stop," says Keith. "Oh, I also might have forgot to mention that you girls have an interview with one of the TV stations up here," he adds.
"KEITH!!!," yells Amy chasing him around the car in the parking lot. "When did you plan on telling us this," she asks.
"Um, now" asks Keith
"When and were is it?" asks Amanda.
Keith, Ryan and the other lads give the girls the information and they are off to the station. Ready to wait out in the car the lads drop the girls off at the front of the building, "Oh no lads, you guys are coming in with us since you forgot to mention this little bit of information to us, let's go," replys Amy.
"Yes ma'am," Ryan and Keith give a mocking salute. Everyone heads into the studio to get ready for the interview. The girls give a little background of themselves and somewhat how they came into the group they also give a performance and introduce the lads and have them give an impromtu performance and tell the audience that there are still tickets available for the show that next night, if they want to see the lads perform live.
