It was one of those evenings where possibility seemed to be alive & on a generous whim the universe tipped the scales. Emily was heading home one evening in October of 2015 when she ran into Ryan outside of a restaurant in Regent Square. It was there that they met for the very first time. With originality Emily saw Ryan & said "Cool shoes." Not the best pickup line in the world but it was a genuine compliment & it got them chatting. The connection was effortless & the attraction instant. Emily was charmed by Ryan's relaxed demeanor, his smiling blue eyes, & his playful sense of humor. "This is a person who lives in the moment" she thought. Ryan was taken by Emily's brazen confidence, her undeniable excitement for life, & her taste in shoes. "This is a person who knows what she likes" he thought. To have enjoyed each other's company so much in such a small window of time struck them both. Ryan was courageous enough to ask Emily out & Emily was smart enough to say yes. They had their first date at Kelly's Bar & Grill in East Liberty where they sat at the bar over dinner & drinks. They have been on a date ever since.
