Alex and Ryan met almost 20 years ago playing Rec soccer in Woodbridge, both believing that their team was markedly better than the other’s. They met again in High School, taking the SATs one seat apart from each other (shout-out alphabetical order). Years later, Alex started teaching at Woodbridge Middle School, joining Ryan on the faculty. Ryan spent nearly every free period in Alex’s classroom, talking about their jobs, their lives, and who won silly soccer games at age 11. Years of talking, laughter, tennis, beers, walks, and beach days led to an invaluable friendship. That friendship blossomed into love, and Alex and Ryan quickly began to prepare for the rest of their lives. Their home is a hub for friends and family, consistently filled with laughter and kinship, the same qualities that drew these two together years ago. They cannot wait to share their day with all of you who have been there every step of the way.
