It's all finally happening!

Believe or not, these two lovebirds met in a bar in downtown San Luis Obispo with a mutual friend. Ryan kept stealing Bry's fedora and buying her drinks all night long. He was hooked, but she needed a little more convincing.

After months of texting back and forth and spending time with each other amongst friends, Ryan decided that he was determined to take Bry out on a date. He called her on the phone and asked, which she accepted. A few days later, they grabbed coffee (one of their favorite treats to share) before dinner at The Hatch in Paso Robles. That night, Bry gave Ryan his birthday present, that of which included a Yoda card (from Star Wars) and teased him about how old was--Ryan is nine years older. They laughed over it together, and were both pretty smitten for each other after that night.

Almost a year after they met, Bry and Ryan finally made it official and started dating. Sure, this date is known as "Star Wars Day" but it's also an important day for Bry and Ryan to celebrate their relationship and journey together as a couple. May the force be with them!

After having dinner out together, Bryanna came back to Ryan's house. He asked her to go upstairs into one of the guest bedrooms for a surprise. She walked in, and found an easel with a canvas that asked "Will you move in with me?" He had set up the room to be her painting studio and office. Of course, Bry said YES! and moved in the next month.

On this day, we picked out Belle (our beloved fur daughter) from her litter. We were so excited to bring her home, but nothing could prepare us for that day two months later. After many exhausting nights with little sleep and endless whining while crate training, a million accidents in the house during potty training, and plenty of money spent on toys and treats, she is the best pupper companion we could ask for!

Ryan knew shortly after he started dating Bry that he would propose someday. He finally decided the time was right when they were getting away for a weekend in Yosemite to "celebrate Ryan's birthday", a tradition that they make happen every year. After staying the night at Tenaya Lodge, they woke up really early that chilly Saturday morning and bundled up to watch the sun rise over Half Dome. Once they got to Yosemite Valley, they shared coffee that Ryan made them in the back of his 4Runner (again, they LOVE coffee). Bry had no clue what was happening until they ventured to a small creek flowing from Yosemite Falls, a spot they had napped at during their visit the previous year. Ryan told Bry to stand in front of the waterfall so he could get some shots of her with the gorgeous background. She turned around to enjoy the waterfall views, and he quietly moved toward her (all this time, his camera bag was empty!). When she turned around, two photographers popped out to capture the moment as Ryan went down on one knee. Bry was shaking and so shocked that she couldn't even figure out which glove to take off so he could put the ring on her finger. Yosemite has always been one of their favorite places to visit, and now it has even more significance for them!

Exactly three years after their first date, Bryanna and Ryan will say "I Do". They hope that you can join them to celebrate this special day!
