For those of you that haven't heard our favorite story 1,000 times... We initially met way back when we were in high school through a mutual friend. We kept in touch for a short period of time in college before drifting apart. Fast forward 8 years later, not a word to each other, and much regret of not taking Ryane to prom, Alex slid into her DMs with a "hey what's up, long time no see!" They exchanged a few words and made plans to hang out when Ryane returned from her summer trip to Italy. A few weeks later, while planning her trip in Stay Gold Cafe with her friend, Ryane turned around and said, "I think Alex is sitting behind us." She mustered up all the courage she had to tap him on the shoulder and sure enough it was him! He was having lunch with his mom (who later told Ryane it was fate. Alex had just been telling her about Ryane when she tapped his shoulder). Again, they made plans to hang out when she returned. Long awaited plans were finally made- Alex drove to Philly to spend the day galavanting about with Ryane. Long lost friends rekindled their friendship on this rainy day filled with laughter and the rest is history. On July 24, 2020, Alex surprised Ryane while on vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine and proposed. This will forever be one of the happiest moments of their lives. While 2020 brought lots of heartache and pain, it also brought us some of the best memories that we will forever be thankful for. We are so excited to celebrate this next journey together with our friends and family in good health. See y'all on the dance floor!
