We found each other at a time where we were both ready and looking for something greater. Thanks to modern technology (Bumble), our relationship began with a couple of right swipes from Brittany and a few hundred from Ryan. Even though Brittany had to message Ryan first, Ryan’s persistence and originality is what won her over. After breaking through the hard-to-get defenses, Colemans Irish Pub was where it all began. Brittany had the beef stew and Ryan had some bourbon, maybe too much. The night ended with a walk to the car and a "let’s do this again soon". Who knew that soon would mean forever.
Ryan had been planning this moment for months. After moving to North Carolina, they took a trip to Charleston, South Carolina. He booked a tour of the historic Magnolia Gardens. As they wandered through the plantation's lush gardens, a hidden path led them to a secluded bridge over a calm pond, surrounded by trees and flowers. As they crossed the bridge, the natural beauty provided a perfect distraction. This was the moment that changed everything. Ryan got down on his knee and asked Brittany to marry him. She nodded and said, Yes, of course! She hugged him and kissed him as he slipped the ring on her finger. With their love forever sealed in the enchanting embrace of Magnolia Gardens, they walked off the bridge, hand in hand, ready to start their new chapter together. We're so excited to have you celebrate this next chapter in our lives! See you in Syracuse!
