It all started at the smokiest bar in all of Central Florida in summer of 2017. A few mutual friends had set Ryan and I up to meet at Tanqueray's in downtown Orlando, which can only be described as "an establishment". Maybe it was the cigarette smoke, but there was definitely something in the air that night because we chatted for what felt like hours and continued to see each other for months after. We began to date seriously in November of that year and haven't looked back since. I love Ryan for his fun-loving attitude, dry sense of humor and unbridled loyalty to his friends and family. I'd like to think I got Ryan with my confidence and charm, but kept him with my brown butter chocolate chip cookie recipe. Today, we live together in the beautiful neighborhood of Delaney Park just a few miles down the road from where we originally met with our labradoodle Wynn and (coming in April), our golden retriever puppy Wilson. We can't wait to celebrate with you in October!
