Ryan and Allie first met on the playground of their elementary school in the third grade. Even though they were so young they knew it was love at first sight. They became the best of friends and were the only kids in their grade “dating” … more like chasing each other on the playground and picking each other first for a kickball game. As they went into middle school Ryan and Allie grew apart. Allie went off to college at Mount union after high school and Ryan stayed in their hometown of Painesville, Ohio working and going to Lakeland part time. God knew they were meant to be and after 14 years their paths crossed again and they have been together ever since.
