How We Met

Our story begins eight years ago at Cole’s Bar on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. It was Ryan’s first night as the new hostess, while Sean had already been working there for several years. As the night was coming to a close, we sat down to have a shift drink. Sean asked Ryan if she wanted a drink, to which she responded, “Are you trying to get me drunk or something?!” We didn’t start dating right away; it took a few years of great friendship and endless amounts of time together for Ryan to realize what was happening. Two years later, after we had been out together that evening, Ryan’s friend (now bridesmaid!), Jess, asked her, “So, do you like, like-like him?” We became official in January of 2013 and have been inseparable ever since. We have created a home together, adopted a dog together, and have completely intertwined our lives. We are crazy about each other’s families and just can’t wait for what the future holds. We couldn't be happier to call each other husband and wife and start our lives together. It means so much to us that all of you have been there for us since the beginning and will be there with us to share our wedding day.

For all the days along the way
