First Comes Love

Ryan and I met in the fall of 2019! Ryan is from Collyer, KS, and graduated from K-State with a B.S. in Aeronautical Technology. He has been with Rans Designs Inc. in Hays for 5.5 years as an aircraft mechanic - he builds and maintains airplanes! I was born and raised in Hays, and I am still here! I graduated from FHSU in 2020 with a B.S. in Tourism and Hospitality Management, and I recently took over the position of Sales and Marketing Director at the new Hilton Garden Inn and Convention Center. We enjoy being frequently distracted by airplanes, traveling, and exploring the outdoors as much as possible to fish, hunt, and sightsee. We are both very family-oriented and enjoy incorporating adventure into our everyday lives. Ryan is the strongest, most understanding, most hardworking, most patient, and most loving man I have ever met. We are absolute best friends, have fun no matter what we are doing, and we would be lost without each other. I cannot wait to marry Ryan and begin another adventure together!

I Love You As High As Airplanes Fly

&nbsp;HAPPILY EVER HILLMAN&nbsp;🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍I am very excited to share the best news ever with all of you! Sunday afternoon, 11/29, I was headed to my parents’ house to help decorate the Christmas tree. I was also getting ready for a Friendsgiving Ryan and I were invited to that evening. After waiting on me for an extra 7 minutes, Ryan turned the wrong direction from my street. I asked where we were going and Ryan responded, “my boss asked me to pick up something for him at the airport!” I immediately suspected something! We pulled up to the Rans hangar at the airport, and Ryan asked me to give him a hand with something. We went into the hangar, he led me to the middle of the airplanes, and I SAID YES!We have been anxiously awaiting our special day of celebrating with all of you ever since!
