Our story began many years ago, back when we were both seniors at Springfield High School. Emma still remembers the first time she saw Ryan-he was on the sidelines at a home football game, and she noticed he kept looking her way while she was cheering. She turned to Destiny (now her maid of honor) and asked, “Who’s number 13?” After the game that night Ryan sent a Facebook message and the rest is history. Over the years, we've grown both as individuals and as a couple-navigating college, life transitions, and all the highs and lows of early adulthood. Through it all, we've remained each other's constant. After many wonderful years of being together, Ryan made it official and proposed on 3/14/25 during a trip to the Oregon Coast. We’re so excited to finally celebrate this long-awaited chapter with the people who’ve supported us along the way!
