Like any good modern love story, Ryan and Kathleen’s began on an online dating app. Both tired of mediocre dates and looking to find someone special, they took to their phones and got to swiping. Thankfully, Kathleen’s good friend and bridesmaid Brittany held the power and “swiped right” on Ryan’s profile (thank you, Britt!) and they began chatting! Although the first date came with some glitches (Kay was 30 minutes late due to traffic, Ryan was exhausted from late hours working on projects and cut the date early to his date’s dismay), Kathleen and Ryan hit it off over tacos and margaritas. They decided to go on another date, then another date, and well….the rest is history! Kathleen and Ryan’s love grew during the pandemic, years of travels all over the country, family outings and Ryan’s delicious home cooked meals. They both saw a future together and couldn’t wait to take the next step. Little did Kathleen know that Ryan would propose on his birthday in June 2022 in front of their friends and family on the Esplanade in Boston. Happy birthday to Ryan, you got a fiancé! Both Kathleen and Ryan are ecstatic to share this special time in their lives with their beloved family and friends!
