We met in college at IUP in 2018, I was a sophomore and Ryan was a freshman. We lived in the same dorm as each other and it wasn’t long until we became inseparable. Our college lives and athletic careers took us in different directions through our time at IUP and we became off and on for the rest of college. We both always knew we would come back to each other, it was right person wrong time. After I graduated college in May of 2021 and life started to get real, it wasn’t long until Ryan and I eventually made our way back to each other and decided to see where dating outside of college would take us. We started dating that same night of our first “real” date which was July 10, 2021 hence our wedding date of July 10, 2026. We had many fun years of dating and then made a big step and got our own house together on July 31, 2024. A few months later on Christmas Eve Ryan asked me to marry him. We are so excited to start this next chapter of life together and continue to choose each other time and time again.
