After meeting on Bumble and a short Facebook search away, we both realized we had one mutual friend - James Schaser (who also happens to be one of the groomsmen in our wedding). James having been Olivia's cousin and Ryan's good friend from his time back at UW, the ice was immediately broken, and any notion of 'outside of our comfort zone' quickly became a thing of the past. Whether it be hiking to mountaintops, trying tasty cuisine in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee, or kayaking on Lake Nemahbin, our endearment for each other only grew stronger. After several dozens of adventures curated in our shared Excel spreadsheet (this should not be a surprise to anyone, really...), the stage was set. In a section of Capitol Reef National Park named Cathedral Valley (aptly named for the scenario, right?!), Ryan went down on one knee at sunrise in front of the rock formations Temple of the Sun & Moon. Yes, you can actually see the victory mark on Ryan's knee in pictures (see 'Gallery'). We both are so tremendously excited to have you all celebrate with us this October. - Liv & Ryan
