Ryan and Mary's love story defies conventional romance narratives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, their paths crossed in a serendipitous moment after a Halloween party at Ryan's University of Maine college house in Old Town, ME. What began as a chance encounter—Mary searching for her lost phone—quickly blossomed into a connection that felt nothing short of fate. As they got to know each other, they discovered remarkable parallels in their lives. Both had experienced jaw surgeries (sorry future children), shared similar summer memories in coastal towns, and even grew up with uncannily similar homes. Ryan emerged as Mary's perfect complement, consistently helping her navigate life's chaos with his unwavering love and loyalty. And Mary became Ryan’s compassionate partner, grounding him and inspiring him to build a beautiful life they could be proud of together.&nbsp; Their relationship was built on more than just coincidence. They recognized a deep alignment in their values and shared dreams, feeling as though the universe was intentionally guiding them together. From the moment they met, neither questioned the power of their connection. What started as a random encounter during an uncertain time became the foundation of a love story that would change both of their lives forever. And no, Mary never did find her phone.

Ryan emerged as Mary's perfect complement, consistently helping her navigate life's chaos with his organizational skills and unwavering support. And Mary became Ryan’s sense of purpose and reminded him life is too short to not have fun. Their relationship was built on more than just coincidence.

Our Story

Photos

Clare has been Mary's best friend since preschool. From playground secrets to life's biggest moments, she's stuck by Mary's side through every adventure. Whenever they're back home, they pick up right where they left off as next-door neighbors and partners-in-crime, as if no time has passed. Clare is more than a friend; she's family.

Clare Considine

Ally has been one of Mary’s closest friends since childhood-- sharing holidays, school days, and even a favorite memory of a Bucknell sorority weekend together. Mary has always admired Ally’s communication and organizational skills, and no matter how much time passes, their friendship picks up right where it left off. Now, with their nieces becoming best friends in Connecticut, Mary hopes they’ll share the same timeless bond.

Ally Hurdman

Ariel was Mary's first college roommate. When they met, they formed an instant connection, Ariel providing a calming presence to Mary's whirlwind life. Her unwavering loyalty was evident from the start, most memorably during a night when Mary fell ill and Ariel selflessly accompanied her to the hospital, staying the entire night despite having early morning classes. Over the years, their bond transcended typical friendship, with Ariel becoming so close to Mary's family that she's now considered a cherished member of their circle. Her ability to ground Mary, offer steadfast support, and create a sense of home during the tumultuous college years made her an irreplaceable friend who will always hold a special place in Mary's heart.

Sammy and Mary’s friendship began on their college dorm floor and quickly became an unbreakable bond. From late-night adventures to supporting each other through challenges, many of Mary’s best memories include Sammy by her side. Where Mary was chaotic, Sammy matched her energy—wild and spontaneous, yet grounded in unwavering loyalty. More than a friend, Sammy became a sister, bringing excitement, compassion, and unconditional support. Their connection goes far beyond college, promising a lifelong bond that will only continue to grow.

Samantha Lucero

Jenna and Mary's friendship is the kind of unexpected connection that makes life fun! They met in an intramural kickball league, quickly becoming inseparable friends who would end up as neighbors in Dorchester, then Quincy. Jenna is now officially "Auntie" to Harper, Mary and Ryan's dog, and has become such a core part of their lives that Ryan loves her just as much as Mary does. What started as a random kickball team friendship has turned into one of Mary's most treasured relationships. Jenna's genuine, down-to-earth personality made her an instant friend, and Mary will always feel grateful for Jenna's arrival in her life.

Growing up, Jared was the family's "little angel"—a sweet, sensitive boy who could do no wrong—and then Ryan came along and turned that calm into complete chaos. Where Jared was measured and gentle, Ryan was a tornado of energy, constantly lighting up their household with mischief and mayhem. Despite (or perhaps because of) their differences, the brothers became incredibly close, bonding over their shared love of music and an unbreakable sibling connection that meant they could go from an epic argument to best friends in mere minutes. Their music festival adventures and ability to navigate life's challenges together have only strengthened their bond.

Jared Worthington

Ryan and Will's bond transcends the typical cousin relationship—they are more like brothers, and were born just a month apart and inseparable from childhood. Ryan was often the mastermind behind their more mischievous adventures, with Will serving as the loyal and supportive sidekick. While Ryan might have been the one pushing boundaries, Will was the steady, illuminating presence in the family—a treasured member whose gentle and kind spirit balanced Ryan's more rambunctious nature. Their connection was so tight that they shared not just family ties, but a deep friendship that carried them through every stage of growing up, with Will always standing by Ryan's side, showing unconditional support. Mary also adding in that Will was one of the first to welcome her into the family whole-heartedly and unconditionally, which she will always be grateful for. Will is just the best!
