Cassie had downloaded Coffee Meets Bagel and within days found her perfect match while Ryan was just about a month away from moving to Milwaukee to start his career after finishing college. Our first date was at Goal Line Sports Bar in Crystal Lake and from there we truly never looked back.

October of 2019 we had friends visiting for the weekend and before leaving to go out for the night Ryan proposed to Cassie in their living room surrounded by friends. After the initial excitement Ryan surprised Cassie at a bar full with family and friends to continue the celebration.
