Welcome to our story: Ryan and Tina met in high school in Delano, CA. and dated for a short period of time, but ended up going their separate ways (It's high school). We hadn't talked or seen each other in over 24 years, that was until 2021 when they ended up reconnecting. Ryan saw Tina on Facebook (thanks to a mutual friend/family member) and requested her to be friends and they've been inseparable since. As they say, it happens when you least expect it.

Ryan proposed to Tina on Valentine's Day 2023, even though it is considered one of the most "cliche" days for proposals, he did it because he knew it would throw Tina off and he was right. It caught her by surprise, as she would never expect him to be cliche and of course she said YES!! Ryan proposed at KC Steakhouse in Bakersfield, CA. in front of strangers. Those strangers kindly took pictures of us, one who was kind enough to send to us right on the spot, but the other one just kept it. lol So I hope she's enjoying the picture of us!

The last couple of years, not only were Ryan and Tina growing as a couple, but blending two families into one. Ryan has four children ranging from 20 - 10, so it makes for an interesting blend. Our first trip as a family was to Disneyland for New Years, as we are a Disney family. We all had a great time and made special memories. As a family, we have also gone camping in Pismo numerous times and will continue that tradition, as it is an annual family trip. We have gone on a big family cruise to the Bahamas and created many memories. It is very important to Ryan and Tina to ensure the kids are part of their big day, as we're becoming one. Therefore, we will have a special moment with them during our ceremony.

The first place that Tina and Ryan reconnected was in Paso Robles for a small getaway, so it only seemed perfect for our wedding to be there as well. Paso has been a huge part of our relationship, from little getaways to wine tasting and just making memories as a couple.

Ryan and Tina are excited to see you all on their special day and share their love with everyone.
