Sydney and Ronnie’s love story began on September 1, 2013, in Vancouver, Washington, when mutual friends brought them together for a hike. Ronnie was playing junior hockey in Vancouver, and Sydney was living in the area. That hike marked the start of their relationship, which grew despite their busy schedules.

After Ronnie’s hockey season ended, he decided to stay on the West Coast for a while. But by the fall of 2014, the couple made a big move to Ohio, where Ronnie is from, so he could play college hockey at John Carroll University. It was a big move that set the stage for their time in Ohio. They lived in three different apartments in Northeast Ohio before buying their first home in 2020.

Over the years, Sydney and Ronnie have grown together. Sydney started her journey toward becoming a Dietitian after Ronnie graduated in 2019 with his bachelor’s degree. Today, Ronnie has transitioned from his collegiate hockey days to playing in the local men's league, while Sydney hones her martial arts skills. Staying active together has become one of their favorite ways to spend time, alongside attending concerts and sporting events, exploring national and state parks, and traveling with their beloved dogs, Hallie and Nelly.

From their first hike in the Pacific Northwest to life in Ohio, Sydney and Ronnie’s journey has been full of shared adventures. They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you in July!
