Everybody always asks how Riley, who was living in Virginia Beach, managed to meet Ryann, who was living in Tucson. Well, it's simple... Riley is a liar. Ryann and Riley were both active on the dating app "Hinge" when they both swiped right one day. As Riley and Ryann were preparing for their first date, she questioned how this young, cute guy had managed to go under her radar for so long. She finally put two and two together that he wasn't local and was actually visiting AZ for a work trip. BAMBOOZLED! Since they both got along so well right out the gate, they decided to meet up even given their 2,000 mile separation. After going out nearly every night for two weeks together, saying goodbye was a hard pill to swallow. Riley returned to Reno to spend the holidays with his family where he couldn't stop telling his dad about this great girl he'd met but he was bummed it wouldn't work out due to their distance. That's when Riley received the greatest piece of advice his dad had ever given him, "You won't know if you don't try." Riley ran with that and invited Ryann out to visit VB for the first time and in true Riley fashion, he'd invited her out for "the weekend of the 14th"... Of February... Valentines day... Without knowing. After 3 years of long distance, about a billion FaceTimes, and plenty of back and forth flights from VA to AZ, Ryann packed up everything with Cooper in tow and made the move out to Virginia to join Riley on the East coast! Riley proposed on his birthday in their home before going to their favorite pastime... breakfast!
