Jackie and Ryan were flying high heading into their first date. Jackie had gone 7-for-7 in a softball doubleheader that morning, and Ryan had just returned from winning big at the blackjack table after checking another MLB stadium off of his list. Of course, their lives were about to change for the better in a far more profound way.

The two immediately hit it off, talking for hours on a first date that instantly felt different from the rest. For Ryan, he knew it was special after a second date was planned at the batting cages.

Jackie and Ryan's interests and lifestyles blended perfectly together, and within months, the two were in bowling, softball, kickball, and pickleball leagues together. In between league nights, were late trips to the movies on a weeknight, setting Guinness World Records in Toronto, and making nightly trips to Yankee Stadium for a week straight in hopes of seeing Aaron Judge break the Yankees' home run record.

When Jackie and Ryan moved in together, their wonderful family was formed, as their dogs Rocky and Ralph became fast friends and enjoyed picnics in the park and trips to minor league baseball games.

The match was simply too perfect, so Ryan asked Jackie to marry him on August 25, capping off a weekend in which they went to two concerts together in as many nights, fittingly summing up their active, harmonious lifestyle that deserves to be enjoyed together forever.
