U should be fine if only you are a direct family member of an EU national and stated on your resident card. To be safe, go with ur marriage certificate while ur wife travel with u. Im sure u will be fine

Thank you for the reply. As i have heard the stories in regards to EEA national with spouse Ryanair refused to take the non EEA national spouse on board. I shall take mine EEA family card and in case original marriage certificate just in case Ryanair create problem.
i also spoke to Ryanair customer chat online but they could provide a appropriate answer either

also to mention i am traveling on Sunday evening. I am hopping there should not be any issue?

I travelled with Ryan air before and they are trouble, the problem there is that the staffs are not educated on this aspect of travelling, you need to let them know that they don't know the law and if they stop you, you will file a case to the EU court. Many reports has gotten to court from the unscrupulous behaviour of their staffs. I did travel even without my spouse and was going to join her there. Hold all documents ready. Good luck and safe journey

here is the update.

i printed EU directives. Email from the EU to confirm that i am allow to travel with my EU wife. however, Ryanair were funny. first they did not let me onboard at boarding checking. when i challenge and showed them the EU directives and email from the EU that i am permitted by EU law to travel with my wife. than they let me get on board. however the strongely suggest me to get a visa next time.

when landed to belgium no issues at immigration desk. same coming back no issues.

my advise do not travel with Ryanair they are not friendly and do not understand the EU law.

Thanks
