TYING THE KNOT
Earlier this year Meg and Ryan decided to take their relationship to the next level by getting engaged. Meg announced this to the public through a post on her Instagram account.
The photograph was of a cartoon style drawing of the couple reaching for each other and a small ring. The caption just said “engaged.”
The post followed Meg being seen in public wearing an engagement ring. She wanted to confirm the rumors by posting the picture.
