**Met on Stir:** We met on a dating app for single parents, both a little hesitant given our past experiences and the fact that, together, we had four kids between us. But fate had other plans, and we took a chance. **First Date:** On July 13th, 2023, we met for dinner (and shared nachos because we were both too nervous to actually eat, lol) and then tackled an escape room, which we managed to beat with one minute remaining! The chemistry was undeniable. We were having so much fun that we lost track of time, and the night stretched hours longer than we ever imagined. We didn’t want it to end. From that moment on, we’ve been inseparable. **Started Dating:** On August 21st, 2023, we officially started our journey together, and our connection only grew stronger with each passing day. **Engaged:** On December 13th, 2024, Ryan popped the question in front of family and friends at his work Christmas party. I was in complete shock, unable to get words out at first. Happy tears flowed, and eventually, I managed a yes! It was a night I’ll never forget. **Getting Married:** Now, we’re eagerly anticipating our wedding day on **October 4th, 2025** and can’t wait to begin this next chapter together as partners in marriage—and most importantly, as a family of six. **Thank you for being part of our journey!**
