Ryan and Alix met through an online dating app, and immediately swiped right to match. After talking all day long, Alix's app crashed, and both Ryan and Alix thought they lost each other forever. When Alix franticly made a new profile, there Ryan was again, and that was it. They had their first date at Blu Jam Cafe, and then walked through the rose garden at the Natural History Museum. The day after their first date, Ryan called his Godmother and told her, "I just met my wife." Everything from then on just seemed to fall into place. Ryan, Alix, and Josh moved in together just before a global pandemic hit, and have been the three musketeers ever since!

Ryan worked for months to design the perfect ring and the perfect proposal for Alix. With the help of family and friends, Ryan had everything set and ready to go-but then COVID surged and plans changed. Again, with the help of Alix's family and friends, another perfect plan was set and ready to go-but then Alix got sick, tested positive for COVID and was required to isolate for 10 days. On the date of the planned proposal, Ryan and Alix had a makeshift date night, having dinner 6 feet apart. When it came time for dessert, Ryan handed Alix a plate with her favorite cake, and the very special box was underneath. With masks on, Alix said YES to forever, in sickness and in health.
