Ryan and D.J. met through mutual friends in college, where they quickly bonded over shared interests and Ryan's love for D.J.'s musical compositions. After a few years of friendship, they naturally settled into a romantic relationship, and to this day have trouble recalling the exact date when it was made "official". With over a decade having passed since their first meeting and nearly a year into their marriage, Ryan and D.J. are excited to share a night with friends and family celebrating their love for each other.

When not frantically planning for events, Ryry and Deej (as they call each other) enjoy playing board games together, hiking, exploring arcades, and most importantly, making each other laugh.
