Ryan and Eden met in November 2014 in college. They both went to school in Waltham, MA – Eden was a junior at Brandeis University and Ryan was a senior at Bentley University. Eden's sorority had a social with Ryan's fraternity, and because the schools were across town, they had some of the guys sober drive for the evening to make sure the girls got to and from the party safely. Ryan ended up driving Eden to the party, and they immediately clicked. They shared their love of country music, concerts back home, and their upcoming summer plans. Ryan ended up driving Eden home at the end of the night, and asking her out on a date for next week. They've been happily together ever since!

Ryan recreated their entire first date; he picked Eden up in “his” car to drive aimlessly through Waltham, had dinner at the same restaurant (in the same red booth), had dessert at the same ice cream parlor, and even brought her back to the exact same spot they first met to ask to spend the rest of our lives together.
