Ryleigh and Hayden met at a concert in the summer of 2013. Hayden remembers feeling pretty shy and Ryleigh felt super outgoing around each other that night. Those that know them know that that is the complete opposite of each of their personalities. As they have grown together over the years, they continued bringing out the best in each other. Hayden proposed near the beautiful Denali National Park, Alaska on a road trip when Ryleigh was visiting him there in October 2020. Ryleigh was completely surprised by the proposal (props to Hayden for his spontaneity and for finding the perfect spot). The mountains will always be a special place for them.
