Our story starts at a YoungLife camp called SharpTop Cove! Ryan was interning in the kitchen in the summer of 2023 and Celia Rae was on Ryan's summer staff crew! They worked in the kitchen together for 4 weeks and at the end of the 4 weeks Ryan asked Celia Rae on a date. Of course Celia Rae said yes! On August 5th Ryan drove straight from SharpTop to Auburn and the rest is history! Our story consists of a lot of FaceTime calls, weekend visits to Clemson or Auburn, Clemson or Auburn football games, trips back to camp, and so much in between! Being long distance definitely makes our story unique but we are grateful for all it's taught us! On November 16th, Ryan asked Celia Rae to marry him! She was completely surprised and jumping for joy as she said yes to marrying Ryan! We are grateful for all the places God has taken us this far in our relationship and are eager to see where else He leads. Our relationship is a clear testament of God's faithfulness. All of this is because of His never ending grace and love for us, and the two of us will be shouting that from the rooftops, forever!
