Our Wedding

Kelsey and Ryan first met outside of Philadelphia's finest establishment, McGillin's Olde Ale House. Brought together by the power of the internet (and the matchmaking efforts of bridesmaid Sabrina Ciervo), their Hinge conversations led to a first meetup at McGillin’s to watch Italy take on England in the 2021 Euro Cup Final. They instantly clicked over shared interests in music, dogs, movies, and most importantly, the Birds. At the time, Ryan lived in Fishtown and Kelsey in Center City, but they made every effort to see each other and spend time together with their bulldog, Madi. This went on for months until they had the wonderful idea to live down the shore for the summer as their leases were up at the same time. With the unbelievably lucky decision of whether they wanted to spend the week in Brigantine or Sea Isle City, they enjoyed time at the beach, on the bay, and wherever the closest live music was being played. By the end of the summer they moved in together in an apartment in Center City where they spent the next 2.5 years. This is where they created countless memories with friends and family, explored new Philly restaurants, galavanted through Europe with friends, and witnessed a Super Bowl loss AND WIN. It was a walk from this apartment to one of their favorite restaurants where Ryan nervously walked with a ring in his pocket, stopped in the middle of Broad Street (horns and sirens directed at them), and got down on one knee. Kelsey, of course, said yes, and they celebrated soon after with close friends and family at Harp &amp; Crown. Since then, Kelsey and Ryan have celebrated their engagement with a trip to Austria and Croatia, found their dream venue at The Ryland Inn, and bought a home together in Logan Square. Their story continues on June 20, 2026, when they can’t wait to celebrate with all of you.
