We went to the same high school, and Sarah had a major crush on Ryan the moment she saw him playing the drums in the Battle of the Bands. (Who wouldn’t fall for the guy keeping the beat?) Over the years, we had plenty of mutual friends and often ended up at the same parties and bars, but our conversations never went past small talk. Fast forward to 2018, when the universe (and a dating app) decided it was time to bring us together. What started as casual banter quickly turned into something unforgettable. From the get-go, we bonded over our shared love of travel, good food, live music, true crime documentaries, McDonald’s Big Macs, and Diet Coke. Basically, it was love at first “match.”

Our journey has been full of laughter, adventure, and love, but our first vacation—a ski trip to the White Mountains—sealed the deal. Between sharing a pocket full of Fireball nips on the ski lift and sipping espresso martinis at the summit, we realized we were perfectly in sync (even after those drinks). Six years later, we’ve built a life we adore: a cozy home, a sweet dog named Lando, and a love that’s stronger than the drinks we had on that mountain. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you—Espresso Martinis are not required but strongly encouraged!
