Ryan and Lindsey met in early 2016 while both working for the same architecture firm in Baltimore, Maryland. Although their relationship remained a friendship for many years, they still enjoyed many happy hours, softball games, adventure parks and group outings. Their first official date was in August of 2019 where they went out to dinner and watched The Addams Family from Federal Hill Park, splitting a bottle of wine and finding their true happy. When the pandemic hit and everyone thought that quarantine would last for two weeks total, Ryan and Lindsey decided to spend those two weeks together. When that never ended, they made the decision to officially move in together. On a beautiful day in August of 2021, Ryan planned a hike in Virginia where he asked her to be his wife and stand by his side for the rest of their lives. Shortly afterwards, Ryan and Lindsey purchased their first house and are happily residing in their home in Hampden.
