Analise and Ryan met 7 years ago at the University of San Diego. Analise had just returned from Semester at Sea and Ryan had recently transferred to USD from Purdue. To be completely honest, Analise doesn’t really know when she met Ryan because she couldn’t tell him apart from his twin brother, Kevin. As it goes, she claims she saw one of the two wearing an Irish jersey at a bar in Mission Beach. We’re not sure if it was the jersey or his chiseled stature that caught her eye….but it was definitely Ryan. They started dating in early spring of senior year after she passed the twin test on Valentine’s Day. Kevin opened the door with a bouquet of flowers and she called his bluff right away asking where Ryan was. After graduation, their long distance relationship began. Analise moved to LA while Ryan was still back in Indy mowing lawns. Thankfully Ryan’s mom had just started a job with the airlines that granted him access to unlimited flight benefits. It just so happened that he conveniently scheduled interviews in LA about every other week. We’re still not sure if he was actually interviewing for jobs or not but he did, in fact, finally land one out west later that year.

After five years in LA, on November 3, 2018, Ryan finally mustered up the courage to get his knee dirty and ask Analise to marry him. The rest is history! Exactly one year later, they will be getting married at the University of San Diego - where it all began! Analise and Ryan love traveling any chance they get. Analise is cultured and well…..let’s just say Ryan is spontaneous. It makes for quite the concoction. Over the years, they have enjoyed trips to Mexico, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Greece, Italy, Bahamas, and many other fun destinations to visit family and friends. When Ryan isn’t busy trying to perfect his below-average golf game, he and Analise enjoy beach days, hiking, finding LA’s next best restaurant, and their true passion….traveling to find the world’s best beaches! For their honeymoon, they are off to Africa to check another beach off their bucket list. 11.2.19 will be here before we know it. Get ready for a fun weekend in sunny So Cal! San Diego holds a special place in Analise and Ryan’s hearts and they can’t wait to have all of their family and friends back at the place that brought them together!
