Our love story starts the way all great romances do... with awkward teenage banter and shy glances in the hallways.

If you ask Ryan: It all started in high school gym class. I was the athletic kid who liked to show off, and Caroline—well, she was the smart, shy girl who was way out of my league. But somehow, I managed to catch her attention and get her phone number.

We started texting nonstop. I’d walk her home every day after school, spending my lunch money on sweet treats just to see her smile. And yes, I even pretended to like halo just so we could play together.

Eventually, I got the nerve to ask her to our high-school graduation and the rest is history.

If you ask Caroline: We met in our grade eleven gym class - not exactly the place you'd expect to find your person, but that is where our story begins. I remember walking into class on the first day and noticing a tall, skinny, blonde boy trying to dunk the basketball. I had never seen him before, despite having been at the same high-school for three years already.

Fast forward a few months, many walks home, countless hours of texting, and one too many halo games later, we were considered "dating." Eventually Ryan asked me to our senior graduation, and we never looked back.

We were just teenagers figuring out life, but somehow, we found a sense of home in each other. Through every chapter - new jobs, new cities, and everything in between - our love only grew stronger.

Over the years, we've seen each other become who we're meant to be, and we've held on through it all. Now, after all the milestones, we're stepping into the next one hand-in-hand.

From high-school sweethearts to lifelong partners - this is just the beginning of forever. We are so incredibly excited to celebrate with each and every one of you!
