We met in the summer of 2014 while working at a local health food store in Honolulu, HI. After a few flirty shifts, we had our first date. To be honest, we didn't think of it as love at first sight. We enjoyed each other's company, had many good laughs since we shared the same sense of humor, and even embraced the fact that we were both movie buffs! We just liked being around each other. We dated for about a month or two before Ryan asked Kelly to be his girlfriend. (swoon!) Fast forward 1 year, the couple had to make the tough decision to do long distance while Kelly started her MS/DI program in California and Ryan started school in Hawaii. The two were challenged by the ups and downs of a long distance relationship that ultimately made them stronger and wiser. Bring on 2018, Kelly finished up school and headed back to Oahu to move in with Ryan. June 2019, Ryan popped the question! After 6+ years, the love, the fire, and the humor is stronger than ever!
