We met each other lifeguarding at our local pool club back in 2016. Despite the fact that neither of us were qualified for the job, we had some amazing summers together: bonding over Chick-Fil-A, staying late to jump in the pool, and getting in trouble for chatting too long at the lifeguard chair. We stayed in touch all throughout college and after, thanks to many, many FaceTimes. When COVID began in 2020, we went on socially-distanced walks all over Westchester (and further) for months, until we made it official in May 2020. It's been six years since then, and it has been so much fun to live our lives together: whether it is trying new foods and restaurants, traveling to new places, or experiencing new activities and big life events with family and friends. Ryan proposed on the beach in Maui at sunset in March 2026. We can't wait to be married and to create even more memories with all of our favorite people!
