We're Getting Married!

Ryan and I met during a summer internship in Dallas, Texas during our last year of college. We worked together, lived next to each other, and ran around Texas together. During our last week of the internship, we told each other how we felt and decided to see if we could maintain a long-distance relationship - a 9 hour drive between Syracuse, NY and Blacksburg, VA

After college, we both found jobs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area! Fate was on our side.

I was working overseas in Belgium for a 3-month assignment. Ryan flew out for a short weekend visit. On the last day, Ryan asked me to take him to my favorite place in Belgium. I took him to the St. Michael's Bridge in Ghent just as night was falling. The bridge crossed over the winding river of Leie with a view of the historic downtown and three famous towers. I turned around, and there he was.
