Andrew has been Ryan's friend/best friend since 8th grade. Ryan's tells everyone that Andrew is one of the best people he has ever met in his life. He has been a better friend than Ryan has ever deserved and Ryan is super grateful and happy that he is able to be a part of this wonderful day.

Jess is my ride or die best friend. She is the spark in my life that keeps me going. We have known each other since 7th grade, when we became lunch room best friends for life. We have been through the ups and downs of life together. I wouldn't be the person I&nbsp;am without her in my life.&nbsp;She is my person.&nbsp;

Jessica Alvarez

Erin and I have been friends since our middle school homeroom days. She has been there for me in every chapter of life, I know shes always got my back and that I will always have hers.&nbsp;Shes also a pretty good karaoke duet partner and drinking buddy.&nbsp;

Bryan has been Ryan's brother Ryan's entire life. He has been the best older brother that anyone could ask for. He has been Ryan's support when he needs it, he has stuck up for Ryan more times than he can count (has even gone to jail to defend Ryan), and is a constant role model for Ryan to look up to. Even though Ryan won't live up to his promise to Bryan (that he will be bigger, stronger and older) Ryan is glad that he gets to have the best brother in the world.

Hillary is my soul sister. We are in each others lives for a reason, no matter how far away she moves, we are always there for each other. Often our 2-4 hours phone conversations are still too short.

Courtney is Ryan’s (and my) favorite sister. She has been such a wonderful addition to my life. Her compassion is contagious and her love for family is one of the best things about her. I can turn to Courtney for advice and guidance. I’m so happy to have a sister like her.

Bailey is Ryan's niece. In fact Ryan was in IL babysitting Bailey the night before we met, he left their house to come meet me for our first date. Bailey is a creative smart girl who knows she is wrapped right around her Uncle Ryan's finger. She is growing up to be a beautiful young lady and I am so glad that she is going to be standing up there with us&nbsp;on our wedding day. &nbsp;

Monica is our beautiful, spunky, little girl. She will be two years old when we get married. She is our pride and joy and our lives would be dull without her in it.&nbsp;

Venue

The Branch

""There is a funny story about this venue and how it kind of fell into our laps.&nbsp;I had been to the Branch for a local art show back in 2017 with my best friend, Jessica and her daughter Bella. We walked in and marveled at its beauty. I said to Jess, I&nbsp;want to get married here!Then a year later, Ryan proposed! I could actually go and look for this venue. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it. We settled on an AirBnB and stuck with that. Then in July of 2019 our Airbnb had a slight mix up and we thought we were without a venue for a day. I&nbsp;naturally stayed very calm, just kidding. I panicked and restarted my search. And THERE&nbsp;IT&nbsp;WAS!&nbsp;THE&nbsp;BRANCH! I called right away, and set up a tour, so I could show Ryan were we were going to get married.&nbsp;The Owner of the Branch has been so wonderful to us!&nbsp;I hope everyone will get the chance to see the beauty of the Branch in person or in video for our wedding day.&nbsp; www.thebranch1501.com""
