We met in 2014 as sophomores at SUNY Geneseo. We first crossed paths at a hockey game. Mutual friends introduced us (shoutout to Jackie and Marisa for making this magic happen), and we've been inseparable since. We graduated in 2016 and shortly after we moved into our first apartment together in Rochester. We loved living practically in Highland Park, and going to the lilac festival as often as possible, rain or shine! We've traveled to places like Long Island, Mexico, Long Island, the Dominican Republic, New York, the Adirondacks, Maine, Long Island... I think you're getting the pattern here. Our cat, Cece, brings joy to our lives when she plays fetch and races us down the stairs.

Ryan proposed to Paula after 10 whole years of dating in the Conservatory in Highland Park. We can't wait to celebrate with everyone in Mexico on October 18th! We've made so many amazing memories, and the best are yet to come.
