Ryan and Miranda’s story began long before they reconnected after high school during the summer of 2019. It was in the familiar halls of their high school where Miranda had always admired the kid in the white hoodie from her psychology class. Little did she know, this would be the summer that changed everything.

Their first date took place at the West Side Market, where Miranda noted Ryan’s quiet charm and decided to give him a chance. As they spent more time together, Ryan's thoughtful gestures—handwritten cards and carefully planned date nights—quickly won her over. They felt like best friends from the start, sharing hours of text messages that could fill pages as they learned more about each other.

Their relationship blossomed, even as they navigated the challenges of a global pandemic, Miranda's career change, and her new adventure with her horse, Cody. Through it all, their love deepened over cooking delicious meals together and enjoying weekends with college friends.

In April 2022, their family grew when they adopted Flynn, a rescue puppy who brings endless joy to their lives. Miranda graduated and started her dream job, while Ryan completed his biotechnology degree. They cherished every moment, traveling to Scotland with friends and igniting a shared passion for adventure and exploration.

Then came a moment that would take Miranda completely by surprise. With the help of her Aunt Pam, Ryan orchestrated a breathtaking proposal in February 2024. After getting off a flight, Miranda walked into a beautifully decorated basement filled with flowers, photos, and twinkling lights, and in that magical moment, Ryan asked her to be his forever.

Since their engagement, they have been joyfully planning their wedding, exploring Iceland, and making memories during Miranda’s visits to Ryan in North Carolina, where he’s working on an exciting project. Together, they look forward to a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and love after five years together.
