Ryan and Bridgette met at Gettysburg College while Ryan was a Senior and Bridgette was a Sophomore. It was alumni weekend of 2013 and Bridgette went to a party at Sigma Nu where she met Ryan. They stayed friends for a few months and started dating on January 25, 2014.

Bridgette and Ryan become dog parents in November of 2019 when they adopted Brady the Newfoundland mix! He was the runt of his litter and the puppy that snuggled the most! Little did they know he would turn into a little terror when he had only Ryan to take his energy out on. About a month later, Ryan called Bridgette and asked, "Do you want another Newfie puppy for Christmas?" To which Bridgette replied, "Well thats a stupid question! YES!" About a week later, after Bridgette had finished with her Law School finals, Ryan dropped off Pali! Ever since their introduction, Pali and Brady have been inseparable siblings! They love long hikes, swimming, and cuddling with Bridgette and Ryan!

Ryan proposed on Bridgette and Ryan's annual trip to the west coast. With the help of Bridesmaid Caroline, Ryan found the perfect location for the proposal. After dinner at Avensole Sole Winery, Ryan asked Bridgette, "So do you like this place?" Not knowing what was about to happen, Bridgette responded, "Yeah its great but its a little over priced." To which Ryan replied, "Would you want to come back here again?" "Sure!" said Bridgette. "How often?" asked Ryan. "I don't know... forever!" "So forever..." and Ryan got down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" After Bridgette was done freaking out she said "YYYEEESSSS!!!" And the rest is history! We can't wait to celebrate with all our friends and family!
