We’re getting married!

Ryan and Amy met the way many modern love stories begin—at work. Funny enough, Ryan wasn’t exactly thrilled when Amy got the job. He had referred a friend for the role and was secretly counting down to his referral bonus. But as the days turned into months, something unexpected happened. Through shared laughs, learning from each other, and just the right amount of office gossip, friendship quietly took root. Everything changed one night at a company Christmas party where someone joked that they looked like a couple. Instead of laughing it off, they decided to play along. By the end of the night, they had spent every moment together—and both felt something different. The spark had been there all along, waiting for its moment to shine. On April Fools’ Day, at exactly midnight, Ryan asked Amy to be his girlfriend. He chose the day just in case she said no—but she didn’t. The moment was funny, sweet, and perfectly them. Years later, they planned their dream trip to Ireland, a place that called to them both for its beauty and its connection to their heritage. They began in Galway, then braved the winding, narrow roads across the country to Dublin—laughter and Amy's screams echoing in the car as they navigated driving on the “wrong” side of the road. In Dublin, Ryan suggested they visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Rain had fallen all day, but as they approached, the clouds broke and sunlight spilled over the church. Ryan asked a passing couple to take their picture, and while Amy was explaining exactly how she wanted it framed, she turned to find him down on one knee. She was so surprised she kissed him before he could even finish asking the question. Moments later, the rain returned, chasing them into a cozy pub where they toasted their future with pints of Guinness. Amy’s ring holds two special diamonds—one from her grandmother and one from Ryan’s—both Irish women whose love and strength now live on in this new chapter of their story. And so, from sitting next to each other at the State Street office to St Patrick's Cathedral, from friendship to forever—here they are, ready to say “I do.”
