We were introduced through a mutual friend (our maid of honor Paige). It was just after midnight on New Year’s Eve and Ryan invited Paige and I over for a party he was having. When we showed up Ryan and his friends came and met us outside. We didn’t talk very long but neither of us knew that was the beginning of our love story. Through out the next couple months we only hung out a handful of times and it wasn’t until about April we started talking more. May 15 as Ryan was getting on the plane to deploy for 6 months when I called him and officially told him I wanted to be with him. We had never kissed, been on a date, or even hung out alone. Now 2 1/2 years later… WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!! - Julianna
