Born behind the stone walls of a Castle, a deep-seated love blossomed between two unlikely candidates. A long-bearded, always late, Irish ginger technician and a stunningly beautiful, organized, always on time Italian girl met their match.

Both coming out of questionable relationships of their own, they decided to give love another try. This time it stuck.

For him, it was the way she gracefully recovered after tragically tumbling down a set of stairs with a fresh poutine at the end of their first date. For her, it was… it was something.

Fast forward through several years of amazing, unforgettable times and complete chaos mixed with turmoil, their unwavering love for each other only grew stronger. Through the good times and the bad, they always had each other to lean on.

The Irishman decided to take the spicy Italian back to the motherland for a once in a lifetime trip to linguine-land. There, they navigated through some of the most beautiful scenery while soaking in world-class food and wine throughout their trip. Being very spill-prone, Victoria’s outfits did the same.

The notoriously stress-free Irishman was uncharacteristically sweating bullets the entire time trying to think of a plan to make the Italian beauty his wife. Naturally, a last-minute plan seemed like the best option.

After a night of heavy drinking, featuring obnoxious European club strobe lights and a significantly younger couple, Ryan thought it would be the perfect time to execute his plan. “Let’s go for a hike to the Bardini gardens tomorrow!” he said, for the first time in his 32 years of existence. Nothing suspicious here, carry on.

Ignoring Victoria’s previous concerns about being proposed to in a public place, he dropped down on one knee in front of a gallery full of people overlooking Florence. “No no no no no!” she said, visibly overwhelmed. Then “YES!! 1000 times, YES!!!” Confused but elated, Ryan got up and hugged his bride to be. The rest is History.
