Our Wedding

Ryan and Sami’s love story is truly special! They first met in December 2022 at their church’s Young Adults Ministry, where they quickly connected as Ryan transitioned to Azusa Pacific University. Their friendship blossomed as they joined intramural teams and enjoyed spending time together between their classes.In April, after months of building a strong bond, Ryan took a heartfelt step. While dropping Sami off after grabbing dinner and ice cream together, he sweetly picked up her hand and asked her on a date. Their first date—a hike to the Hollywood sign—sealed their connection, and they soon became inseparable, falling head over heels for each other.Over the next two years, they celebrated each other’s milestones, from graduating college to embarking on mission trips. Sami became a dedicated first-grade teacher, and Ryan proudly completed the police academy, and began serving the community in Chino.On June 15, 2024, Ryan proposed to Sami overlooking the breathtaking waters of Palos Verdes, surrounded by their loved ones. Their journey together is a beautiful blend of friendship, love, and lots of laughter!
