Ryan and Claire met through the wonderful world of online dating. They had their first date at Stauf's Coffee Roasters on July 23, 2023. (Little did they know, in a couple of short years, they would be getting married in the church across the street.)

After Ryan passed the tests of character doled out by Claire's dog, Arlo, they spent the next year and a half enjoying walks in German Village, taking road trip adventures, and cooking new dinner recipes together.

Ryan proposed in April 2025, and after lots of planning, they are so excited to celebrate with friends and family in the neighborhood where it all started.
