We met in 2017 at The Hook & Plow in Hermosa, however our first date was in August of 2018. That said, the first date we had where we knew it was more than just a summer romance was 08-18-2018 - a date that we hold as our anniversary - hence our wedding date.

We chose Hood River for its incredible natural beauty knowing that many of our friends and family have never been and might not ever have reason to visit this magical place otherwise. It is our hope that those attending our wedding can make time to explore and enjoy the area, from the world-class wineries to the stunning hikes and whitewater rafting to simply experiencing the magnificence of the Columbia River Gorge, we wanted this to be an adventure for you as much as us.

We are opening a new Hook & Plow in Bend Oregon in the spring of 2023 - it will be the largest of all three currently existing restaurants boasting 20' ceilings in a new, modern, steel and glass upscale commercial building on the west side of Bend. In addition, Ryan is hoping to begin production on his latest feature film project in Scotland in 2023. We've also purchased a residential property in Bend to begin renovating immediately after the wedding.
