For those who haven’t been keeping tabs, Jenna and Ryan have been together for over seven years – basically an eternity in dating years. Their story began at Michigan State University, where they crossed paths freshman year. They may or may not have “purposely” chosen the same office hours as teaching assistants for Business 101. After two years of being “just friends” (and probably annoying their college friends by pretending they didn’t like each other), they finally started dating junior year. The official moment? A Christmas party at Jenna’s college house in January 2018. Picture twinkling lights, cheap holiday decor, and Ryan nervously asking Jenna to be his girlfriend. Spoiler alert: She said yes. Fast forward to December 2023, when Ryan pulled off the ultimate surprise and proposed the weekend of Jenna’s birthday in downtown Chicago! Jenna was completely shocked and even more impressed when she learned Ryan had picked out the ring all by himself! Since graduating from Michigan State, the two have built a life together in downtown Chicago. When they’re not working hard, you can find them jetting back to Michigan to visit family and friends—or packing their bags for yet another epic adventure. Jenna and Ryan are those people who actually use all their PTO, they have visited scenic destinations from Alaska to Iceland to Puerto Rico and Italy. After years of laughter, love, and maybe too many nights of debating what to order for takeout, Jenna and Ryan are finally making it official. This wedding has been a long time coming, and they couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with all of you. It’s time to start the next chapter as husband and wife—and, of course, plan even more trips!
