We met the summer of 2018 at Kingston Mines, a bar in Chicago. A mutual friend, Margaux (Ryan’s friend from growing up and Gabby’s friend from college), introduced us. We hit it off right away chatting about music and sharing some laughs. By the end of the evening, we both knew that it was something special. After that fateful introduction at Kingston Mines, Ryan didn’t waste any time. The following weekend, we went out on our first date. From that first date onwards, we have been inseparable, building a strong and lasting connection that started with a simple introduction at a lively bar in Chicago.
