Our Wedding

We are your stereotypical 2020s app couple. I was on and off dating apps consistently hating the dating scene and swearing it off for life when I decided to try again. He was living his best life traveling from coast to coast for his 40th birthday with some swipes on his journey. I scrolled across a guy I was pretty sure wasn’t going to actually be 6’4, but he had a great smile…so why not swipe? We chatted very briefly on hinge (dating app) and he asked me out to a new tex mex restaurant he’d wanted to try. I mean who am I to turn down free margs on a Tuesday? (what he doesn’t know is I almost canceled till a friend convinced me to go). So to Superica we went. To my surprise he was ALLLL of 6’4. (Score!). Our first date was pretty typical. We found our common interests, went back and forth with an unnamed game of 20 questions, and bonded over our mutual love of Blink 182. We had a great time and called it a night. He left unsure if I was actually interested in him and I left sure that there was no way he was actually that nice for a man that handsome. Who knew that was just the beginning of something so very sweet. Ryan and I both have a deep love of travel, so after only 2 months of dating we went on a cruise together….and I fell hardddd! (And apparently he did too hehe). Since then we have traveled as much as life and jobs would allow and loved all of our random adventures in between. We joined our lives, families, and homes. On September 17, 2024 this amazing man asked me to be his wife. Andddd that brings us today…and you reading this! We are ridiculously excited to get married and continue this life together as a family!
