Our Wedding

It all started with 2 right swipes

How We MetIt all started with two right swipes. We met on Bumble, a dating app that requires the girl to message first. What began as a right swipe and a casual hello quickly grew into something special. Our First DateOur first official date was at the Twisted Birch, a little restaurant on a golf course about halfway between where we each lived. We drank a few ciders, ate some dinner, and then took a walk on the golf course at the end. It didn’t take long before we realized this was something real. The AdventuresSince then, we’ve traveled to Baltimore, DC, NY, Georgia, moved in together, raised a puppy, and grown up. We’ve shared inside jokes, favorite songs, slow dances in the kitchen, a few hurricanes, and have loved building a life full of random adventures, cozy nights in, 9 pm bedtimes, and 6 am wake-ups, all while doing it together. The ProposalRyan popped the question on May 12, 2024, at Camden Yards, where the Baltimore Orioles play baseball. It was such a rush. Our families were each there, as Ryan had planned it around Mother's Day as a distraction ploy. Of course, Kaylee said yes (after maybe a few happy tears)! Looking AheadWe can’t wait to celebrate our wedding day with all of you and start this next chapter as The Lewises. Thank you for being part of our journey—we’re so lucky to have you by our side!
