Our Story

Our Story

We met through our friends Autumn and Austin Radford. Ryan worked with Austin, and Ryan was curious if they had any available friends. We spoke and "dated" for about 10 days when Ryan voiced that he was really interested in a future with me and well... I got scared and ran. Fast forward about 6 months later... I wouldn't stop asking Austin about Ryan, and after much encouragement from Autumn, I texted him. It only took about a week for us to begin dating again, and the rest is history! A very cliché, but very true, example of "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it's yours forever." We both can't wait for our forever.

- Written by Alex, but read to and agreed upon by Ryan… LOL marriage (;
