Hi! We’re so glad you’re here. Our story began on February 16, 2023, at Sagebrush in Austin, Texas. That night, something just clicked. From our very first conversation, there was a sense of ease, laughter, and that undeniable feeling that we’d found something special. Ryan is a born-and-raised Texan with deep roots and a big heart. Alix moved to Austin from Northern California in 2014, bringing a creative spirit and West Coast sunshine. Though we come from different places, we quickly found common ground in our love for good music, spontaneous adventures, and meaningful connection. As our relationship grew, so did our shared vision for life: one rooted in intention, joy, and doing things a little differently. That’s why we’ve chosen to elope in the breathtaking beauty of Lake Como, Italy—just the two of us, surrounded by nature and love. Afterward, we’ll be sailing off on a honeymoon to explore four iconic European destinations. Before we take off, we’ll be celebrating with those closest to us—starting with an engagement party in Texas and a bridal shower in California. Whether you’ve known us forever or just recently joined our journey, we’re so grateful to have you in our lives. Thank you for sharing in this special chapter with us. With love, Ryan & Alix
