On The Fourth of July in the midst of the pandemic, Hannah met Ryan outside the Bowtie Cafe in Mt. Adams, Cincinnati for a cup of coffee.
Her first impression: he's tall. His first impression: she has some curly hair.
What was supposed to be an hour of conversation over cold brew turned into a three-hour date without a single lull in conversation, ended only by the barista's notice that the shop was closing. The rest is history.
Over the past few years, Hannah and Ryan have received 5-star reviews from each other's family and friends, have traveled coast-to-coast and beyond, and have seen each other through new careers, new cars, new hobbies, new cities, and new homes. Through all the changes, they have been a constant source of love, laughter, and support for each other. They are truly each other's biggest fans.
On April 15, 2023, Ryan got down on one knee to pop the question with a perfectly orchestrated birthday surprise. Hannah said yes, and they celebrated the beginning of a new chapter with close family and friends.
Upon moving to Atlanta for our careers less than a month after the engagement, we once again welcomed a season of change and celebration, with the love and support from each other, our families, and our friends. We are beyond excited for the opportunity to celebrate our love for each other and the role each of you have played in making our story a once-in-a-lifetime love story.
