Marriage has a nice ring to it. We can't wait to celebrate ours with you.

We first met each other at The Table, a church ministry for young adults in Orlando. During a Table-sponsored day of sports in the park, Ryan and his buddies were looking for a 4th teammate when Nicole walked up and asked if she could join. We formed a team that day, and in the following months we also formed a small Bible study. After a while, the two of us began to grow closer and accidentally went on a bunch of "fake dates", which included Rock the Universe, trivia nights, and dinner outings.

Our first "official" date was an outing to Disney Springs for a movie, which ended up including dinner and drinks too. From that point on, drinks at Raglan Road accompanied by live Irish music have been a go-to. We have a mutual love of board games and often bring games to a bar or park to enjoy friendly competition (unless it's Scrabble - then it's game on)! The two of us enjoy doing so many things together that we started an ever-growing list of adventures to go on.

It was pretty obvious to both of us, from the first month we started dating, that this relationship was meant to last a lifetime. In November, we went hiking at Lake Louisa State Park and took photos of ourselves (plus Nicole's dog Luke) wearing flannels. Ryan couldn't miss such a scenic opportunity, so at the end of the hike he asked Nicole to marry him and she said yes!
