Ryan and Jessie met in November of 2019, when Jessie began working alongside Ryan at the Roy Goldenwest Credit Union. While it was not an immediate love story, Jessie and Ryan quickly became friends. Being friends at work evolved into daily lunches together, late night FaceTime calls, texts around the clock (and plenty of rubber band fights.) On May 11, 2020, their relationship was made official. Flash forward a few years later: they have endured hardships, countless laughs, plenty of tears, and millions of “I love you-s.” Ryan popped the big question on September 24th, 2022 at The Jelsma family home. They have begun to share a home, raise their dogs, work toward their careers, and dream of their future family-to-be. It all started with a girl walking into the first day of her new job, and resulted in two best friends-sharing their new life together.
