Our love story began when we were just 16 years old—Ryan was a junior, and I was a sophomore, both navigating the exciting life of high school. It was the time of year for the dance team's annual concert, where we performed a co-ed routine at the end. At that time, I didn’t have a partner for the dance, so a friend encouraged me to reach out to this cute boy, Ryan, whom I had never met, and convince him to dance with me. I took a leap of faith and slid into his DMs! Little did I know, I was reaching out to my future husband.

After a few days of chatting, we decided to meet up for our "first date" at Top of the World in San Clemente. As I arrived and saw him standing outside his car, waiting for me with that charming smile, I instantly knew he was special. From that moment on, our journey began.

As we grew up together, from high school to college and now stepping into adulthood, we've shared countless memories and milestones. We are truly blessed to have God at the center of our relationship, guiding us with His grace and love every step of the way.

Now, as we prepare to embark on this new chapter of our lives together, we are filled with gratitude for the love and support we’ve received along the way. Here’s to a beautiful future together!
