How We Met

We both swiped right!

Ryan and I met through Facebook dating! I more or less used this app for entertainment purposes only and had zero motivation to actually meet someone who wasn't obsessed with feet or their Mom. I ran across a picture of this very tall man wearing a goofy hat in his profile picture. His eyes got me! I scrolled down to see that this large man that is 6'5 loves to watch The Gilmore Girls. Well, those of you that do not know, I am obsessed! For the first time in my life, I sent a guy a message first. I said, "Are you Team Dean, Logan, or Jess?" (show reference) He replied with, "Definitely not Jess!" Well, I am completely TEAM JESS ALL THE WAY! We could not stop talking to each other for a couple weeks before he FINALLY asked me for my number. In conversation, I told him how involved my daughter were at our church and that we loved the Lord. 2 days later, on a Sunday morning while on the way to church, he sent me a text that he was coming to church. What!? Right now?! (frantically looking in the mirror) THANK JESUS I looked decent that day because ready or not, here he comes. This tallest man I have ever met walked in and introduced him as Ryan. I loved that he was confident enough to wear a pink shirt that paired very well with his bougie jeans and cowboy boots. He sat next to me on the 2nd row at church and we had church. The next Sunday, we had church. I quickly realized that he was not going anywhere whether I liked it or not. Throw in some movies, lots of Mexican food, debates on who has the crazier family, and 8 Sundays later we are engaged! When you know, you know my friends! I figured if he was crazy enough to have me, then I will be crazy enough to marry him. I can't wait to become Mrs. Goodwin on June 4, 2022.
