Ryan and Charlie met freshman year of college in the dorms, both with their own separate girls friends. One short month later at a Halloween Party, Ryan and Charlie were caught making out in the bathroom and the rest... as they say... is history. Ryan's girlfriend, Jamie, was very forgiving and ended up becoming one of their closest friends.
Over the years, everyone who knew them understood how in love they were. Their friends always asked when they would get married and like smart, young adults, they wanted to wait for the perfect time.
Finally, ten years later, it's time - and they can't wait!
The summer after graduation, Charlie took Ryan to see his favorite artist - Ke$ha! He got them VIP meet and greet passes and during the song "Die Young", Ke$ha invited them onstage to sing and dance with her. Right at the end of the song, Charlie knelt down and proposed and Ryan said 'yes' through tears. This began a much longer engagement than they'd hoped and once canceled wedding because of the pandemic. But they're so happy to be here now - with all of their closest friends and family.
