How We Met

First comes Penn State, then comes Marriage

Our story begins when we met in the summer of 2021. Julia was living in Pittsburgh and Ryan was living in Arlington, VA. It was not uncommon for Julia, Marsha, and Joan to go visit each other's college friends, and this trip was no different. Marsha and Julia were going to visit Joan's PSU pals for the weekend. The first night we met: From Ryan's perspective, Julia was trying to chop wood for a bonfire in flip flops. From Julia's perspective, Ryan was trying to stop Julia from doing a "man's job". The banter from that bonfire night quickly grew into a long distance relationship between Pittsburgh and DC for 1.5 years until Ryan moved back home to Pittsburgh in 2023. Our shared interests of being outdoors, spending time with family, being competitive in everything we do (whether it's a simple game of cards or playing 18 holes) made for a lot of fun weekends while living 4 hours apart. Some of our favorite memories we shared were trips to Deep Creek, MD for boating and ski weekends, trips out West to Colorado and Idaho, and it only made sense for Ryan to officially pop the question in March 2024 on a family ski trip to Big Sky, Montana.
