Ryan Deluca is a happy man. The gay former Division 1 college football player, who came out publicly while at Furman University, posted on social media this week a beautiful celebration of his engagement to his boyfriend and now-fiancé, Joseph.
Last week, his boyfriend Jospeh posted on Instagram about the happy moment when the two men became engaged to marry during a somewhat replication of their first date. Deluca shared the post.
“I got down on one knee and asked Ryan to marry me,” Joseph wrote, “one thousand four hundred and ninety nine days later, in the same exact spot from that first date night.”
