Our Wedding

Simon Says I Do

Hannah and Ryan have quite the love story. It consists of several near misses, Hawaiian memories, a giant dog and many sushi dates. Hannah and Ryan did not know each other until their spring semester of senior year at Luther. There were several times throughout their college years where they almost met and didn't, but that's how fate works. Hannah and Ryan met and began to fall in-love in Hawaii. Pretty romantic, right? They had a connection instantly and that led to them getting the coolest dog together, only after 2 months of dating. Their relationship moved fast and after graduating Luther in 2019 they moved to the Minneapolis, MN area. Ever since moving to MN, Hannah and Ryan's lives have really taken off. They've really grown together as a couple, even though Hannah was kind of a brat on the day Ryan proposed. Since getting engaged Hannah and Ryan moved into their first house and are really loving how their lives are going! "We can't wait to see you at our wedding and celebrate this special love we have found in each other!" -Hannah and Ryan
