We're getting married!We're getting married!

Our love Story We both grew up in Keller, Texas—going to the same church, surrounded by mutual friends, and living parallel lives without ever meeting. That all changed two years ago at a crawfish boil hosted by our childhood best friends. What seemed like a casual get-together turned out to be the start of everything. With a little help from our friends (and maybe a little fate), we were finally introduced. Julia made the first move, and Ryan was convinced he didn’t stand a chance. But from that moment on, things just felt easy—endless phone calls, romantic dates, and a growing connection that quickly turned into love. The Proposal On Christmas Eve, surrounded by Julia’s entire family, Ryan gave her a gift she’ll never forget. Inside a white cowboy boot was a small diamond ring box—and when she opened it, completely shocked and full of emotion, Ryan got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever. It was the most magical, joy-filled night. Why Raleigh We chose to get married in Raleigh, North Carolina—a place that quickly became special to us after Julia’s sister Natalie and brother-in-law Robby moved there. After visiting, we fell in love with the area and knew it would be the perfect place to say “I do.” Now we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
