Alex and Ryan met during an exceptionally hot volleyball tournament in June of 2019. Ryan worked up the courage to ask Alex on a date, only to have her bail at the last minute. Alex rescheduled and finally met Ryan for their first date at Gravely Brewing Co. after yet another volleyball game.

Although they disagreed about sports, the conversation flowed and the dates continued. They quickly became very close, spending many weekends road-tripping to visit friends and always bringing a party to the German American Club.

Despite falling asleep on Ryan’s shoulder during their numerous car-rides, Ryan even convinced Alex to attend her first UK football game, where she begrudgingly had a wonderful time. The two found that they fit together really well, they found friends in each other's friends and an ease and sense of family with each other's family.

Ryan and Alex are excited to celebrate the start of their marriage surrounded by all of their loved ones.
