As cliché as it sounds, Ryan and Joan met when they were least expecting it. As two individuals navigating the world in their own unique journeys, their paths crossed at a corner couch at a mutual friend's party in 2022 where they were introduced to one another. They talked for most of the night, only to leave with minimal expectations of seeing the other again. By the end of that year, they officially committed to a relationship after Ryan picked up Joan from the airport! Ryan was drawn to Joan's genuineness and compassion for others while Ryan's patience and consistency was what allowed Joan to open up to him. For nearly three years now, they have been intentional about building a healthy relationship with Christ at the center; surrounded by their solid support system of loving friends and family. Fast forward to March 2025: Ryan proposed and Joan said yes! They're ecstatic to begin this new chapter of their lives and to celebrate their continuing journey with you!
