Ryan and Adam met at a mutual friends' wedding in 2022—cheers to the Archbalds! Three days later, they went on their first date, a hike at the Granville Gorge followed by ice cream at The Scoop. From that moment on, they were inseparable, traveling and exploring new places like Austin and Quebec.

After a year and a half, Ryan and Adam moved in together, in West Hartford, CT. Their relationship grew stronger with each passing day, built on laughter and a deep understanding of each other. This September, Adam surprised Ryan by proposing on the first day of their vacation in Iceland. Ryan said yes before Adam even finished his question.

Their story is a testament to the magic of chance encounters and instant connection. They look forward to a future filled with endless adventures together and can't wait to become husband and wife, celebrating surrounded by their family and friends.
