Dee and Ryan matched on a dating app and started talking. After a few missed attempts to get together, Ryan spontaneously invited Dee to a Brad Paisley concert happening that same night...and with encouragement from her bestie Caroline, Dee agreed to go! One amazing concert later, they both knew something special had begun. Soon they would find themselves on a 4.5 year journey through concerts, road trips, sporting events, buying a house, and adopting their kitty Stache!

On 4/9/22, Dee planned on attending the last regular season home game for the Worcester Railers hockey team, where Ryan is the music director. Ryan told Dee they could take some pictures on the ice after the game was over, along with the rest of the Railers game day staff. Dee, Ryan, and the rest of the staff went down to the ice after the game, took a few pictures together, and then Ryan got down on one knee and proposed! Watch our proposal video on the Gallery page!
