Our Wedding

Brittany was in Lexington for PA school interviews. Prior to the drive home, she was searching for a Buffalo Wild Wings to enjoy some food and a beverage (to calm the stress/nerves from the interview). Unable to find the BW3's (directionally impaired, like always) she settled for an Applebees. Lucky for her, Ryan was slinging drinks behind the bar. After an hour of talking, Ryan left his number on her receipt and encouraged her to call if she was accepted into graduate school so that she would have a&nbsp;friend in the area to show her around.&nbsp;Brittany was accepted, called Ryan, and the rest, as they say it, is history.&nbsp;

HOW WE MET

Brittany and Ryan had been going to&nbsp;Davis,&nbsp;WV for the last few years after Ryan surprised her with a birthday trip and they fell in love with the area. They planned their yearly&nbsp;trip with some friends in&nbsp;January. They headed out to&nbsp;the slopes Saturday morning, and after a few runs, Ryan asked Brittany if she wanted their annual picture on the top of the mountain. While Brittany was getting into position for the photo, Ryan got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. After shock and a close fall down the mountain (snowboards and surprises don't mix), she said YES!&nbsp;
