Jen and Ryan's love story began in the most unexpected of ways: a dating app during a pandemic. They bonded over their individual weight loss journeys, their enthusiasm for television/cinema, and their love for food (except for their moms' Shake and Bake pork chops).

As a result of the pandemic, Jen and Ryan's relationship blossomed quickly, foregoing traditional courtship rituals like restaurant dinner dates or happy hours, in favor of intimate activities like homemade pizza nights, binge-watching all of Game of Thrones, and deftly navigating the complexities of the video game It Takes Two. Who knew a global pandemic could be the perfect wingman?

Their love took them from Connecticut to NJ, where they embarked on a new adventure together and welcomed their first furry family member, Leia. Jen and Ryan's love story proves that sometimes the most unexpected circumstances can lead to the most beautiful connections. They can't wait to start the next chapter of their lives together as they embark on their journey as a married couple, surrounded by the love and support of their family and friends.
