Our Adventure Continues...

In 2012 Ryan and Lauren were accepted to Historic Deerfield's decorative arts bootcamp in Massachusetts. They spent the summer nerding out like only historians can. After two months of awkwardness and the determined encouragement of their friends they finally went on a date. There was pizza, trespassing, and stargazing. When the summer ended they just couldn't part. They've spent the past six years traveling between four states learning to love and laugh through life's challenges.

What could be more memorable than a springtime engagement in beautiful, exotic Delaware? Ryan and Lauren were engaged on March 27, 2018 after a hike through Brandywine Creek State Park, just outside Wilmington. The hike was an attempt to recreate their first date in Greenfield, Massachusetts more than five years earlier. After wandering around the woods for hours, Ryan finally popped the question while exploring the ruins of an old foundation. Lauren said yes…despite the fact that Ryan had forgotten to bring the ring along with them.
