Our Wedding

Our journey began in an unexpected place: the Leadership Orange Board of Directors. Neither of us could have predicted that a shared commitment to community and leadership would bring us together in such a life-changing way. We began to notice something special during the board’s holiday party, though it wasn’t until later, in Syracuse, that we finally found the courage to express what had been growing between us—feelings that couldn’t be ignored. From the very first week of getting to know each other, it became clear to both of us that this was it. There was no doubt in our hearts that we had found something rare and irreplaceable. We both share a deep sense of commitment and drive, and it didn’t take long to realize we were each others perfect match—two hardworking, sarcastic, funny, goofy, and loving souls destined for this adventure together. Our engagement was simple yet perfect. It came after Brittany officially moved into Ryan’s home, marking a new chapter in our lives. In the quiet of our living room, just the two of us, Ryan popped the question. There were no grand gestures or elaborate plans—just a moment of pure love and excitement, with the person we each knew we wanted to spend forever with. We’re so grateful for how far we’ve come, for the love we’ve built together, and for the support we’ve found in each other. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives surrounded by the people who mean the most to us!

Our Story

Brittany ♥ Ryan: Captured Moments

She’s snapping pics, he’s perfecting his ‘not interested’ look

Laura (on the right) is Brittany's Sister! 
My big sister, my built-in best friend, and now my Maid of Honor—Laura has had a front-row seat to every awkward phase, questionable decision, and dramatic moment I’ve ever had (and hasn’t let me forget a single one). From our time living together spending every moment together to all the difficult times, she has always been there for me.

I’m so lucky to have her by my side, not just on this day, but always. Thanks for being my Maid of Honor and my lifelong partner-in-crime. I love you more than I can ever describe!

Laura Johnson

Chris is Ryan's Brother! 

It is a great honor to have my older brother, Chris, stand beside me as my best man. Throughout my life, he has been a steady source of guidance, support, and strength. Over the years, our bond has grown stronger through shared experiences, challenges, and milestones. Having him by my side on one of the most meaningful days of my life is something I will always be grateful for.

Chris Arciero

Meet Liam, our energetic and fun-loving nephew who’s always up for an adventure! Whether he's chasing bugs in the backyard or turning everyday moments into epic quests, his curiosity and joyful spirit light up every room. With a big heart and a fearless smile, he's the perfect little explorer to carry our rings down the aisle.

Liam

She may be older than your typical flower girl, but Sage brings something extra special to the aisle—pure personality. With a fun-loving spirit, just the right amount of sass, and a heart full of love, she’s the perfect blend of maturity and mischief. Whether she's making everyone laugh or lending a helping hand, Sage lights up every room (and aisle) she enters. We’re so lucky to have her playing this unforgettable role on our big day!

Sage

Travis, our fearless ring bearer is none other than our wild little nephew — full of energy, always up for an adventure, and absolutely ready to steal the show. With a mischievous grin and a heart of gold, he's charging down the aisle with rings in hand and chaos in his wake (in the best way possible)!

Travis

Meet our fabulous niece and pint-sized diva, Delilah! At just 5 years old, she’s already got more personality than most grown-ups we know. With a heart as big as her attitude, she’s bringing the charm, the giggles, and probably a few unscripted moments to the aisle. We couldn’t imagine our day without her sparkle and sass!

Delilah

Bridal Party

Diane - More than a friend, she's truly my sister in every way that counts. She’s been in my life since I was just one year old, babysitting me, guiding me, and being a constant source of love and inspiration. From tea parties to life talks, she’s always been someone I could look up to. Her positivity, strength, and heart have shaped who I am, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her!

My oldest niece, Zoe, and one of the brightest lights in my life. She’s strong, smart, and beautiful inside and out. Her heart is as big as her smile, always showing up with love, support, and fierce loyalty. She’s been a guiding presence in our family, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her!

I met Brandyn through his wife, but our bromance really ignited immediately. Whether he’s saving lives or saving me from ordering bad food, he’s always got my back!

From 6th grade classmates to volleyball partners, and now lifelong partners in crime—Jillian has been by my side through every awkward phase, late-night vent session, and major life moment. She's the one I call when I need advice, a laugh, a reality check, or just someone who gets it. Whether we're reminiscing about high school chaos or making new memories as adults, I couldn’t imagine this day without her!

Justin - From awkward middle school nerd days to surviving adulthood without totally messing up, this guy’s been my ride-or-die through it all. Somehow we went from painfully awkward teens to (mostly) functioning adults — and he’s still stuck with me. Proud to have him there on my big day!

Katrina - Met her through networking, but somehow she upgraded to my Dublin partner-in-crime way too fast. Always down for an adventure (or just a good excuse to avoid adulting), she’s the kind of friend who makes even the craziest plans sound like the best idea ever. Can’t wait to have her a part of our chosen family — mostly so she can keep the party going!

Thomas - This guy right here is more than just a brother from the firehouse — he’s the ultimate goofball who can turn any dull moment into a comedy show. His quick wit and endless energy keep us all entertained, and I’m lucky to have him as a part of my chosen family on my big day.

Marina - I met this amazing chosen family during our freshman year of college. At first, she was quiet around new people, but once you got to know her, her fun-loving and warm personality truly shines. A passionate Broadway lover who is always down for an NYC adventure! I’m so grateful to have her as a friend and with me on my special day!

Scoot – Firefighter, dance-floor king, and all-around party starter. Always ready to throw back a drink, bust a move, and make sure the night never cools down. Grateful to have him a part of my chosen family.

I met Alyssa way back in 8th grade, and from day one, we were partners in crime. Whether it was wild party times or those ridiculous inside jokes only we understand, she’s been my constant source of laughter and strength.&nbsp;Extremely grateful to have her there as a part of my chosen family!

From battling blazes at the firehouse to sharing laughs around the backyard fire pit, Ray has been more than a friend—he's been a brother. As neighbors and friends, we've swapped stories over cold drinks and built a bond forged in heat, smoke, and plenty of sarcasm. He's always had my back, and I'm glad he is a part of my chosen family for my big day.

Danielle - Met her in college, became roommates, and somehow survived all the chaos together — late-night talks, bad decisions, and everything in between. She’s been my best friend through all the ups and downs, and I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her with me!

Irina - We met through networking, but our connection quickly grew into something so much deeper—a true friendship. She’s been my go-to vent partner through every twist and turn, always listening with honesty and love. With one of the biggest hearts I know, she brings kindness and strength to every moment. I’m so grateful to have her a part of my chosen family on this special day.
