We met on the dating app Hinge. Julia liked Ryan's picture because she thought he looked sweet! The first date ended with a usual timid Ryan giving Julia a kiss which was the first and last smooth thing Ryan has done in their relationship. We continued to date through the entire pandemic with many hikes that somehow ended at bakeries. We've caught up on travel and meeting each other's friends as time has gone on and can't wait to celebrate with everyone at the wedding!
