Jordan and Ryan met around November in 2010 while they both worked at Birnamwood Country Club in beautiful Montecito CA. It wasn't until the following January that Ryan would get the courage to approach Jordan and invite her to enjoy a home cooked meal with him. Jordan happily said yes. Ryan cooked a four course meal from scratch for the 1st date. Jordan was a 19 year old college student living off cereal and Dino chicken nuggets and was immediately smitten with Ryan (and his food). The two continued to date from that 1st date on and will celebrate their six year anniversary on August 15th 2017 from the top of half dome, just two months before their wedding.

In early April this year Jordan and Ryan were on a wonderful wine tasting trip in Sonoma CA. They arrived on Friday afternoon and spent the day enjoying the scenery and hanging out in the beautiful vacation home in the middle of the vineyard at Merry Edwards Winery. They did a great tasting at Merry Edwards and spent the evening cooking dinner and enjoying the peace and quiet. Little did Jordan know, Ryan found a few minutes here and there to sneak off and search for the perfect spot on the property to propose. The weather was slightly overcast and Ryan worried he wouldn't get the sunshine he was hoping for. The couple ventured out Saturday afternoon for some more wine tasting. Though still slightly overcast, they enjoyed a tasting at an amazing cave owned by DRNK wines, just a few minutes down the road. They emerged from the cave after their tasting to find perfectly blue skies and warm air. Ryan knew his moment had to be soon. The couple returned to the vacation rental and Jordan mind was set on making a snack, but Ryan convinced her to take a short walk around the property. They got maybe 30 feet out the front door when Ryan panicked and ran away from Jordan around the corner of the building. Confused, Jordan followed Ryan around the corner to find him on one knee. She said yes without hesitation, and the rest is history.
