Wedding Day

Dear Friends & Family, We are incredibly grateful for having such amazing people in our lives. We know how big of an ask it is to ask you all to travel across the world to celebrate with us. While we know not everyone will be able to attend, we are just so thankful that you are a part of our lives and love story. Hope to see you in Lisbon in 2024! Xoxo, Rae & Ryan

A note from the couple

If you’re sure that you’re coming to party with us, feel free to RSVP now! No need to wait for formal invitations.

Our Wedding

IMPORTANT: PLEASE CHECK WHEN YOUR PASSPORT EXPIRES ASAP.

We kindly ask that you RSVP by February 15th.

Ryan grew up on 40 acres in Central Pennsylvania with his sister, Claire, parents, Tim and Kate, and exceptional next door neighbors- his grandparents, Peggy and Terry! I was born and raised more than 2,600 miles away from my future husband, in Northern California with my older brothers, Scotty and Jeff, and parents, Scott and Jo. Similar to Ryan, I lived next door to my grandparents, Sue and Fred. I've had the honor of becoming an Auntie to 6, with one more on the way (so yes, SEVEN) nieces and nephews. I don't think that Ryan expected to gain a small army with a simple: "Will you marry me?".

Before Fate

Yet another Lehigh Love Story! I left the nest and went cross-country to play Softball at Lehigh, while Ryan had his mind made up about the prestigious Wrestling and Engineering programs that Lehigh had to offer. Although our paths may have crossed a few times in the dorms of Drinker while yelling at each other during heated games of Mafia, we didn’t hit things off until Ryan showed up to a True -American (New Girl reference) themed party that the ladies of 216 4th Street were hosting. Convinced that Ryan was a San Francisco Giants fan based on him saying that his favorite baseball team was also orange and black, I was immediately intrigued. Oh, was I wrong! Ryan promised me that night that he would take me to a game at Camden Yards- to this day, we have yet to go.… We ended up dating toward the end of our undergrad and luckily both did our Masters programs at Lehigh, too. I was able to be a grad assistant for Lehigh Athletics, which allowed me (&amp; forced me) to be at all of Ryan’s matches. Ryan still had a year of eligibility left for wrestling, where he casually became a DI All-American, placing 4th, but he doesnt like to brag about it, so I will! (Ryan was adamant about me using our Lehigh Athletics headshots...)

How We Met

We were sad to leave Lehigh, but were excited to start our lives together on the Jersey Shore, in Asbury Park, NJ. Bruuuuuuuuuuce!! I followed my dad's footsteps into IT sales and Ryan carved his path into commercial real estate due diligence (you'll have to ask him what that means). We've stayed in Asbury Park and since welcomed our fur baby (cringe, we know), Maple, into our home!

Post Graduation

Ryan went full rogue and asked my dad for his permission (Mama Jo said "well how come he didn't ask me?!" ~so classic~) while we spent some time in CA. Less than a week later, Ryan bent the knee while we were taking Maple for a walk on the beach. Tears were shed, zoomies were had and the celebration commenced! I looked over to the boardwalk and shore enough, Ryan had invited some friends to join in on the festivities. We capped the night with copious amounts of free pizza from Johnny Macs (iykyk)!

The Proposal

Since getting engaged, weve been keeping our heads down at work and enjoying our well-deserved PTO, traveling the world whenever we can. Over the past few years, we have travelled to Scotland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Brussels, France, Portugal (wink-wink), Sweden, Poland, Germany, and The Czech Republic. Next stop: Lisbon, Portugal for the best day of our lives! After that: Quick stop in Barcelona before heading to Italia for our honeymoon! P.s. Youre probably wondering who watches Maple when were traveling... lets just say that Maple is extremely happy at Camp Grandma! Thanks, Tim &amp; Kate!

Our Story

Bridesmaids

Shortly after Rae & Ryan started dating, Ryan introduced Rae to Kelsey and the rest is history. The two quickly hit it off and before you knew it, Ryan was somehow the third wheel. Bestie turned roomie, Kelsey lived with the two love birds upon her return from teaching in South Korea (which Rae had agreed to do with her, but chickened out and decided to move in with Ryan instead...).

Kelsey Lynch

Quite literally Rae's longest friend (& basically sister), Rae & Roni go back to kindergarten! Every year for Roni's birthday party, she would have chocolate cupcakes and knowing Rae didn't like chocolate, would always have one, singular vanilla cupcake set aside for her. The two of them were in the same class and sports teams together up until high school. They eventually had to split ways for college, but still tear up Slingshots anytime they're in Shingle Springs together! Thanks Mama Jo for always dd'ing! 

Roni Greene

College roommate, teammate and bffl-  simply put, Katie has the same sense of humor as Rae. Almost all of Rae's favorite college memories have Katie in them. Rae first met Katie before they even got to Lehigh, where she had a lizard tattoo on her face…. Rae knew they were going to get along. If you get a chance, ask KT about her AppleWatch!

Katie Schultz

Rae & Bailey met on the softball fields of Buckeye during their rec-ball days! The two of them are always laughing and having too much fun together. 

Bailey Nelson

Claire’s not only Rae's future sister-in-law, but has become one of her best friends over the years.  Unfortunately for her, she’s stuck with both Ryan & Rae now!

Porto

Porto is about a 3 hour train to Lisbon and offers incredible wine (where do you think port wine comes from?!) and boasts beautiful views of the Duoro River

Travel

Hi All, One of our favorite parts of Lisbon was how historically in-tact the whole city felt. We walked the colorful streets and took in all of the mesmerizing tile around us. These are just a few suggestions of things to do, but the options are endless. We hope you get the warm and fuzzies roaming the city as much as we did! -R&amp;R

Nicknamed "Pink Street," this is one of the hottest sections of Lisbon for night life! Did I hear "afterparty"?!

Pink street

One of the most beautiful landmarks in Lisbon, this became the necropolis of Portuguese royal dynasty of the Aviz in the 16th century.

Jerónimos Monastery

If you want to find some of the best local food in one place, this is it!

Time Out Market

Take a day trip (~30 min) to Sintra and see all of the beautiful monuments and palaces! Sintra quickly became one of our favorite cities.

Park and National Palace of Pena

Such a delightful egg tart that is offered almost everywhere in Lisbon! Apparently, this place is the best! 

Pastéis de Belém

Known as the oldest operating bookstore in the world, you can purchase a good read and have it officially stamped by the bookstore!

Livraria Bertrand - Chiado

Sitting on the Tagus River, this is one of Lisbon's most popular attractions!

Belém Tower
