Like the start of any Hallmark movie, Ryan and Kristen were first introduced over 10 years ago through a local business owner, but it wasn't until just over a year ago that the two showed mutual interest. While Ryan claims to have asked Kristen out previously, she denies this reality and later on reached out expressing her potential curiosity.

After just a mere few dates, both Ryan and Kristen knew this could be something special. All in God's timing, the two coworkers who formerly considered each other acquaintances grew to become partners in life. Ryan tackled Kristen's hobbies of tennis, hiking, and water skiing while Kristen tackled Ryan's hobbies of fishing, golfing, and hunting.

Both Kristen and Ryan knew when they met each other's families that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together honoring God and each other. To make it extra special, Ryan proposed to Kristen at the top of a hill on his family's farm during sunset. He even involved both sets of families to celebrate the moment together. Now, they cannot wait to celebrate their Hallmark happy ending with their closest family and friends!
