Our Love Story

When we first met: "It's Chester Washington..." 2012 We've known each other since 7th grade, but first started dating in high school. Ryan was a high school senior baseball player and I was a high school junior softball player when our paths finally crossed for good. We were both a part of our high school newspaper, La Vista, where I admired my sports editor (aka Ryan) for an entire 9 months before he noticed me. When he did notice me, he knew me as the girl who was a damn good sports writer, but kept making silly APA style errors that drove him crazy, like continuously spelling "Chester Washington Field" incorrectly. My plan worked ;) My silly errors worked in my favor and in April 2012, we started dating after a kiss at a high school party. Our first date was a Dodgers baseball game, and the rest was history! The Proposal 5.26.18 Within the first month of us dating back in 2012, Ryan asked me to spend Memorial Day Weekend with him and his family in La Jolla, California- a tradition his family has kept since he was three! Six years later, on our 7th annual La Jolla family trip, Ryan proposed in front of our closest friends and family on the same beach where I first knew I loved him. When the photographer counted down to snap a picture of all 50+ of our friends and family, Ryan stopped him and pulled me back towards the water. Cue the ugly tears. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Malibu!
