Our Wedding

Ryan & Rachael met in January of 2012, through their friends, Tyler and Lisa, while attending a Red Bull Crashed Ice event in St. Paul, MN. Although they didn’t talk much, they both caught each other’s eye! The next time they saw one another, Ryan asked Rachael for her phone number. The two of them ended up dating for a few months and ultimately, the timing wasn’t right for either of them. In October, 2016, Ryan & Rachael were both part of Tyler and Lisa’s wedding party. After reconnecting at the wedding, they went on a few more dates. Unfortunately, with Ryan having an Android and Rachael having an iPhone, some texts didn’t go through to each other so they both moved on, thinking the other was ghosting them. In March 2024, Ryan saw Rachael’s profile on a dating app. He decided to reach out asking Rachael out to dinner to catch up! At dinner, on March 6th, they picked up right where they left off! They became inseparable and talked on the phone for hours when they couldn’t hang out. It’s evident that God has a plan and His timing is perfect! 

Third Time’s the Charm! 

The Proposal

<p style="text-align: left;">Ryan and Rachael went to Cape Coral, Florida in January, 2025 to visit some of Ryan’s best friends, Zach & Holly, and their two kids, Paityn & Colton. The second day there, Holly took Rachael to grab coffee and go on a beautiful walk. When they got back to the house, they all ate lunch then Ryan said “the kids have this really cool puzzle box, wanna try it?” Rachael, although tired from being in the sun all day, noticed Ryan’s excitement and said “sure!” After a while few failed attempts and Ryan stepping in to help, Rachael finally got the box open, only to find a riddle. After reading this riddle, Rachael says “cool” and puts it back in the box, totally oblivious to the fact that it was a clue to go find a treasure! Ryan said “you should go find it!” With reluctance and cluelessness, Rachael got up and walked to the living room. On the shelf under the TV was a gold Menorrah. Underneath that was a beautiful wooden box. Rachael grabbed the box, still oblivious to what’s about to happen, opens the box, and turns around to Ryan on one knee! Completely surprised, she says “are you serious?!!! YES!” </p>
