Ryan and Angelina met through mutual friends in the summer of 2017. Their first date was to watch 47 Meters Down. Although the movie was not great, that day was the beginning of an everlasting love. They went on many dates after, often filled with laughs and getting to know one another. Ryan and Angelina soon became best friends and started dating just months later. Ryan would leave for college later that year while Angelina had her senior year left. Many nights were spent on FaceTime or watching movies together over Netflix. Long distance was not easy but it only made their relationship stronger. They experienced many life lessons together in their early years. From first jobs to learning how to drive, Ryan and Angelina supported one another. Throughout college, Ryan and Angelina would often motivate each other. They share a passion for helping others and chose to study for that. Ryan majored in Criminal Justice and Angelina majored in Nursing. On July 9th 2023, a summer photoshoot was planned at the Botanical Gardens in Corpus Christ, Texas. During the photoshoot, Ryan surprised Angelina by dropping to one knee and asking for her hand in marriage. On that same day, they made the decision to attend church together as an engaged couple. July 9th 2023, also serves as the day they renewed their relationship with Christ. Life has come full circle for Ryan and Angelina. They are once again doing long distance, as Ryan is away in New Mexico for 6 months for work. They find their time being spent on FaceTime or watching movies over Netflix again, just as they did 7 years ago. Ryan and Angelina continue to support and love one another from many miles away. They are counting down the days for their family and friends to hear them say I Do. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10
