So how did Kaylee & Ryan meet? It wasn’t just Ryan’s super funny jokes that brought them together.

In the Summer of 2019 they both found themselves single and neither of them were ready to mingle. Was it the warmth of a Minnesota summer, the song of summer blasting in the background, or the smell of hot dogs on the BBQ that convinced Ryan to reach out to a girl he knew nothing about?

We may never know, but Ryan accepted Kaylee’s number from a mutual friend, and under the August heat took a chance. He texted her to ask her out...he just forgot to tell her who he was.

After clearing up who he was, and after weeks of texting, they finally met in person. They bonded over their love of family and drinking a good margarita and quickly found their lives were vastly better when they spent it together.

Over the years, they experienced lockdown, the NYT questionnaire about love, travel with family and friends, house hunting, and finding the perfect Christmas tree.

Like the list of Ryan’s nicknames for Kaylee, their relationship continued to grow with each challenge faced and victory celebrated. As long as they were together they could navigate anything...well, as long as Kaylee had her coffee first.

So after four years of dating, deciding to get married was an easy choice.

Cheers to a lifetime of Ryan's Encyclopedia Hour, Sunday morning pancakes, watching sunsets, sleepover snacks, and partnership.

As they prepare to say I do, they are filled with gratitude that you are spending the day with them. Kaylee and Ryan can’t wait to celebrate with you!
