Ryan and Stephanie’s love story began over a shared affection for plastic. They worked at Avient, just across the hall from each other, for years—yet somehow, it took post-work drinks at Two Bucks to bring them together.

The universe, however, wasn’t done with its matchmaking yet. That summer, Stephanie bought a condo, and Ryan, ever the curious Googler, discovered that it was only an 11-minute walk from where he resided in Avon. This was the perfect excuse to spend more time together. Many evenings were spent renovating Stephanie's condo fueled by a bottle (or two) of whiskey. Soon, their weekends were filled with Browns tailgates and haunted house adventures in the fall.

Stephanie quickly found that by Christmas she was spending most nights with Ryan and Zoey and not too many at her condo she had just purchased. Everything seemed a little too perfect so the two decided to throw a puppy into the mix to stress themselves out and the new little family was officially formed.

Ryan’s proposal came on Stephanie's birthday, with Zoey playing a starring role. He presented her with a coupon book, made by Zoey, each coupon offering something sweet—and the last one? A coupon for engagement photos. Stephanie, still in shock, snatched the ring out of Ryan’s hands before he even had a chance to ask the big question. But true to Stephanie's style, she made him get back down on one knee before she said, “Yes!"

These days, you can find Stephanie and Ryan running all over town, taking Zoey to sports or grabbing supplies for their latest home reno project. Most evenings are spent catching up on the day, often over a glass of wine (or two, or three).

Life is good. Cheers to love!
