Ralph and Miranda met in their early 20’s while working at a Christian bookstore. They stayed in touch by social media over the years and reconnected in the summer of 2022. It began with causal parks walks, dates with chaperones (Miranda’s nieces and nephews), and soon every weekend was an exciting adventure together. Both Ralph & Miranda enjoy a delicious meal, nature, and quality time spent with friends. Their families remain the center and most important part of their lives.

Ralph proposed to Miranda in a stunningly beautiful sunset on the Fourth of July in Lake Tahoe on the beach. The Fourth is Miranda’s favorite holiday and the beach her favorite place, so Ralph carefully chose this spectacular place for their special romantic moment. The crowd cheered and the fireworks were their celebration. Thankfully, the couple’s dear friends, Todd & Jenn, were there to capture the moment with photos and video to show their families.

The bride and groom are delighted to share their love with those who mean the most to them. They have the BEST and most supportive parents, families, and friends. They are extremely happy to begin this new chapter in their love story and hope you are there to celebrate with them!!
