Our Wedding

<p><strong>Robyn and Ryan met by chance in early November 2020, when Robyn invited her friend Dan to come meet her family and he asked his buddy if it was ok to stop by on their way back from going to get coffee. Robyn wasn’t sure about dating anyone at the time but her sister seemed convinced she should give “the guy in the beauty and the beast hat” a chance. After a couple of days of Ryan tagging along on group hang outs they really started talking and had so much in common from a love of music on a good car ride, to collecting memorabilia from pop culture. Robyn thought they had so much in common that on a trip to the mall with friends in a funny attempt to gage if he liked her Robyn stole one of his baseball hats and sent a ransom text calling herself a proud hat thief. (He found it funny thank god). Those next few weeks were crazy yet perfect filled with 2 am drives, and homework sessions outside the school gym.(where they shared their first dance) After awhile due to the pandemic Robyn and Ryan were stuck quarantining together when Robyn’s dorm went on lockdown and she wasn’t there. By the end of that year they decided to officially move in together. Those next few years went by in a flash full of dance showcases, parties at their apartment, getting their dog Koda, and taking in many college friends on their couch. Together they built a life full of chaos and laughter and now 5 years later are getting to celebrate that love by getting married surrounded by many of their family and friends. </strong></p>

The Beginning 

Our Story

Hi! I’m Brittney, Robyn’s maid of honor! Robyn and I met when she came to Mitchell as a freshman and joined my dance team! We connected through love of dance, Disney movies and good old ‘girlhood’. Watching her grow through dance and then after college and into marriage is a blessing! Funnily enough, I actually knew Ryan even before Robyn, when he helped out with dance team and even danced with us MY freshman year. Feels like just yesterday. It seems like things really do come full circle, and I’m so glad I get to see these two live out their “happily ever after”!

My name is Daniel Steinberg and I have known Ryan since the fall of 2017 and Robyn since the fall of 2020. We all met while attending college at Mitchell which is a liberal arts college in New London, CT. I have the honor and privilege of being one of Ryan’s best men in the wedding. I’m so happy that your guys special day is finally approaching! What you guys have is a special gift from god and I know that you two are going to build an amazing life together, and I’m honored that I get to be apart of it.

Hiiii! I am Casey and I am a bridesmaid but best of all I am Robyn’s sister. I am so happy to say i got to grow up with Robyn. I saw her in her awkward stage. I saw her in her fashion designer stage. I was with her in hard times and great times. I got to grow with her in beauty pageants and many dance recitals. and though there came a time where we lived separately I got to watch as she grew into the amazing woman we see today. a woman who puts others above herself. and her passion to help children shines. The most crazy and inspiring part of Robyn is her  radiating love. I continue to be amazed with her beautiful relationship with Ryan. it’s the kind of love to be jealous of and to strive for. Ryan is such a happy energy that fits amazingly in our family. i am so proud of the two of them and the life they are starting. But most importantly I can’t wait to watch their love story continue to flourish.

My name is Graham Cunitz. I have known Ryan since he was a freshman in college when we met at Six Flags. We then lived together for 3 years in which we made many fun memories. I saw Ryan grow and change through those years we lived together and thought it was awesome when Robyn came along and started spending time at the house with us . I can’t wait for the wedding, I can’t wait to be part of Ryan’s special day, and It’s gonna be a lot of fun.

Hi my name is Alayna and Robyn is my beautiful older cousin who I hung out with a lot growing up. I used to stay over and have slumber parties with Casey, Amanda and Robyn. We only grew closer as I got older . Some of my favorite memories of us together have to be going to an amusement park with my mom and Robyn and my friend and going on all the rides together, and at the very end she bought me ice cream, and when we got matching tattoos for her dad. I know the wedding is going to be the most fun one I’ve ever been to. The best food , AMAZING MUSIC (I know that for a fact) and lots of laughs and dancing. I hope to take lots of pictures and share her once in a lifetime night with her .

 My name is TJ Sullivan. I have been friends with Ryan since we were little, meeting nearly 20 years ago at our after-school program back home in Wantagh where we played together every day (not knowing our parents had been friends since before they were even married!). Over the years, Ryan became a great friend of mine and we share many memories playing on the basketball team together. The best teammate anyone could ask for and an even better friend. Could not be more happy for Robyn & Ryan. So excited and honored to be a part of their big day!

Hi! I’m Gaby, one of Robyn’s bridesmaids! I first met Ryan when I joined the dance team! I then met Robyn the following year and I felt like we became fast friends! We shared our interests in cooking, dance and makeup! I loved touching up her makeup and doing her hair throughout the years of knowing her! Robyn and Ryan became a package deal and they clicked perfectly. They are always there when you need them and I wouldn’t trade my love and friendship to those two for anything! I am so excited to see my package deal to finally seal the deal and spend their lives together!

Hi my name is Amanda I am Robyns matron of honor but most importantly her older sister. I was there when Ryan and Robyn and I instantly knew they were a fit, when I told her she did not believe me because she did not know him. I am glad I was right. Robyn and I have had our differences as sisters do but I what I have never been able to tell her is how proud I am of her and how much I love having Ryan join our family. I hope their wedding is a magical day and I can’t wait to celebrate along side them on this tale as old as time.

My name is Trevor, and I recently had the honor of being asked to be in the groomsmen party for my good friend Ryan. Ryan and I go way back—we first became friends in high school, brought together by our shared love for baseball. We were teammates, but more than that, we became brothers on and off the field.
Some of my favorite memories come from those days, especially the time we helped lead our team to win not just one, but two Long Island championships. The grind, the locker room jokes, the big plays, the celebrations—those moments shaped who we are and built a bond that’s lasted well beyond high school.
Being asked to stand by Ryan on his big day means a lot. It’s not just a reminder of how far we’ve come since those baseball days, but also how strong our friendship has stayed through the years. I'm proud to call Ryan a lifelong friend, and I’m excited to be part of this next chapter in his life

I’m Kylie, one of Robyn’s bridesmaids! I’ve known Robyn since we were in the 5th grade and we’ve been friends ever since, bonding over Disney, Team Starkid’s Hatchetfield musicals, everything Broadway, and a messed up sense of humor. We’ve had our ups and downs as best friends often do but we’ve had each other’s backs through thick and thin no matter what life chose to throw at us. Robyn, I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and how you’ve grown to be one of my favorite people. I’m so honored and blessed to have the opportunity to stand with you as you start this next chapter of your life and that you’ve found an amazing partner to share it with. Congratulations to you both with all the love in my heart 💜
