Ryan moved to Howard County in 2nd grade to the neighborhood next to Emily’s. They rode the same bus, attended the same elementary school, belonged to the same pool, and even had the same classroom teacher in 5th grade. Elementary school Ryan had a crush on Emily, but the stars didn’t align for him at the time. Fast forward through middle school, high school, and college to 2018. Emily and Ryan found themselves living only a few blocks apart in Canton, Baltimore. After messaging back and forth Ryan finally got his first date with Emily at Sotta Sopra. From that cold November day the two have been together laughing and adventuring all around! After dating for close to four years Ryan decided to pop the question in an apple orchard with their favorite four legged friend in tow! Emily couldn’t stop saying “you’re joking!” & Ryan had to assure her that he was in fact serious! The two are extremely excited to tie the knot in front of all their family and friends 🤍
