We’re getting married!

Like many great love stories, ours began with mutual friends who were determined to play matchmaker. One night, we both happened to be out at the same bar with our friend groups. Our friends had been trying to get us to meet for a while, convinced we would hit it off. That night, they finally made it happen. Ryan invited me to hang out after and brought one of his friends so I could bring one of mine. From the start, he made sure we were having fun buying drinks for me and my friend all night and making me laugh the entire time. It didn’t take long for me to notice how thoughtful, funny, and easy he was to be around. It also turned out he lived in the same building as one of my friends, which somehow made the whole night feel even more meant to be. From there, everything just fell into place. Our friend groups blended naturally, we started spending more and more time together, and what began as a night out quickly turned into something neither of us wanted to walk away from. Before we knew it, we were inseparable. Somewhere between late nights with friends, endless laughter, and realizing how perfectly our lives fit together, we found something really special in each other. We never really left each other’s side after that. What started with friends trying to set us up turned into finding our best friend, our biggest supporter, and our forever person. Along the way, we’ve built a beautiful life and family together and now we can’t wait to start this next chapter as husband and wife.
