We met each other while we were both attending the University of Cincinnati in the fall of 2012. It was the first day of Organic Chemistry Lab and we were randomly paired as lab partners. (Kat likes to joke that because of how much she hated that class, Ryan has already seen the worst in her!) We spent the next year getting to know each other, talking on the phone, and meeting each other's friends. Little did we know, we were BOTH asking our friends if they thought the other was actually into us, because we just couldn't seem to figure it out! We even had more than one 'first date' since we were dancing around our feelings for each other for so long. We *officially* started dating on November 4th, 2013 while Kat was a junior in college, and Ryan a senior. We truly are an affectionate couple, and feel our relationship is strongest when we are together. However, this was not always the case. One of our favorite stories from our early in our time together is when Kat was interning in Virginia. Before leaving, we each set an alarm on each other's phones to go off at 9:15pm that read "I love you, and I miss you". It went off every night, and even if we didn't get a chance to talk that day, it let us know that at that exact time, we were thinking of each other. When she returned home, we never turned the alarms off! So every single day, at 9:15pm, we know that we are thinking of each other. A lot of our friends already know this story, because when we're all hanging out, at 9:15pm, our phones go off - we look at each other and smile. In our time together, we've both graduated with our degrees, and climbed our ladders in Columbus. Now that we've set our roots, we're ready to make a full commitment to each other and continue our love story. Through all of our ups and downs, we've stayed by each other's side supporting each other's goals and journeys with lots of love, laughs and life lessons along the way. We're overjoyed to share our wedding day with you, and can't wait to say "I do"!
