After many hints (and a fair amount of meddling) from Austen, Kathryn, Kaitlyn, and Lain, Ryan and I finally met at a “Presidential Election Watch Party” hosted by Kaitlyn and Lain. Despite being in the same room all night, we managed not to speak to each other at all. Our paths crossed a few more times after that…with very little conversation. Turns out we were both really committed to the slow burn. Fast-forward to Kait and Lain's wedding where our placecards were strategically placed next to each other. Throughout the night, we finally started talking, and once we did, we realized just how well we got along. From Flagstaff beer fests to pool parties to nights on the town, we quickly knew this something was special. After adopting our black lab puppy, Nelli, and making our way through three years of love, laughter, and a wee bit of chaos, we are so excited to take this next step and become husband and wife! We can't wait to celebrate with you!
