Words from the Bride :

Ryan and I first met at St Mary’s Church in Portsmouth . I always thought Ryan was looking at the wall behind me in church , but really he had been looking at me the whole time!

Words from the Groom:

Amanda and I knew each other growing up and had a few classes together in High School. I have always had a secret crush on her, but I never told anyone … including her.

We reconnected in Newport because Ryan was coming back home on the Yacht he was on at the time Now We Know and got in touch with me on Instagram to see if I wanted to get a drink and catch up.

I thought seeing him I was going to be nervous but it came natural, I was sitting at O’Briens having a beer with Ryan Blass.

Since that night we have not missed one day talking to each other.

We knew this was different than any of our past relationships and instantly knew we were are suppose to be together.

We both have already been through many obstacles, challenges and months without seeing each other, but we make this work and both make each other very happy.

We are excited to be able to celebrate our love with our family and friends.
