The two met one day at a dreary March Day at work in 2022. Erin asked for Ryan's number so they could plan to go to the gym together after work...little did they know at the time that they would be starting their story together. A plan to go to the gym quickly turned into a hike which then turned into a trip to Loxley's Restaurant.

They spent hours talking and cracking jokes with each other only to end the night when Ryan walked Erin back to her Jeep. Once they went their separate ways, driving home, Erin couldn't shake the feeling that she just went on a 'date' with the one she was meant to be with all along.

Going to work every day became the highlight to their days simply because it meant that they could see each other again. Workdays never dragged on since that night at Loxley's. When the shifts ended, they would text back and forth until Erin inevitably fell asleep first, because Ryan always went to bed a little too late.

Fast forward to a year of Ryan and Erin dating...Erin came to Ryan and said, "Let's go looking at houses!" With that twinkle in Erin's eye, Ryan couldn't say no. They went on countless house tours and traveled to numerous townships only to end up exactly where God wanted them.

About a year later, God blessed both Erin and Ryan with new jobs and new opportunities. It was at this time that Erin asked Ryan to add to their family with their not so mini, Mini Bernedoodle, Sully. With new jobs and a new member of their family their lives were blessed even more.

From the very first encounter to now planning their wedding day; God had His hand in it every step of the way.

"Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:9
