Our Wedding

It all began on a crisp autumn day in New York City. As college football filled screens across the West Village, fate was quietly setting the stage for our love story. Jodi was enjoying a lively Saturday with her friend Emily, hopping between bars and soaking in the gameday atmosphere. Meanwhile, at White Horse Tavern, Ryans sister Kaitlyn was catching up with friends over drinks. In one of those perfect twists of chance, Jodi found herself momentarily separated from Emily. Looking around the crowded bar, she spotted a welcoming table of women who might help in her search. What started as a simple Have you seen my friend? quickly blossomed into animated conversations about football rivalries, favorite West Village hangouts, and inevitably—relationships. When Jodi mentioned she was single, something sparked in Kaitlyns eyes. You know, she said with a smile, I have a brother you might like. Jodis interest was immediately piqued. Is he tall? Is he cute? she asked without hesitation. The enthusiastic confirmation from Kaitlyn and her friends was all the encouragement needed. Before the afternoon was over, Jodi shared her number with Kaitlyn to give to Ryan, and Kaitlyn sent a text that would change everything…

As fate would have it, Ryan was enjoying a Mets playoff game with friends when Kaitlyn's message arrived. Despite being caught up in the excitement of the game, he couldn't help but feel intrigued by his sister's impromptu matchmaking. He didn't wait for the final inning to reach out to Jodi…

They proceeded to exchange a few text messages and conversations flowed effortlessly, and before long, they arranged to meet the following week at LB Speakeasy, a cozy speakeasy nestled in the West Village. From the moment they locked eyes at that first date, something magical happened. Hours disappeared as they talked, laughed, discovered countless shared interests and exchanged great stories. When the night finally wound down, Ryan insisted on walking Jodi home to her apartment before catching the late Metro North Train back to Stamford. What immediately followed was a night of continued messages, neither wanting the connection to end. Their phones lit up with flirty banter until the early hours, both wearing smiles that wouldn't fade. It became clear that evening that they had found something special in each other. Among the many discoveries of the night was one non-negotiable: any relationship with Ryan would require Jodi to embrace life as a San Francisco 49ers fan - a condition she was surprisingly quick to accept. From that day forward, Jodi and Ryan found themselves constantly in each other's thoughts, counting down the minutes between conversations, and eagerly planning their next adventures together. What began as a chance encounter orchestrated by a thoughtful sister has blossomed into the love story we celebrate today. And now, as they write this next beautiful chapter together, they are thrilled to have all of you joining them on this journey.
