We're Getting Married!

It all started back in 2005 (approximately) — two kids in 4-H, covered in show dust. Life took us in different directions for a while — Ryan spent time in Minnesota, and Rachel ventured through Iowa and Kansas. But as life tends to do, it brought us right back to where we belong: home in Indiana. Somewhere between sorting calves and late-night drives down country roads, we realized what we had was something pretty special. We reconnected not just as old friends, but as two people who truly get each other — quirks, muddy boots, cattle talk, and all. And then came the big question. In Rachel’s favorite spot on the farm, surrounded by the place she loves most, Ryan popped the question with a beautiful ring and a simple, sweet “Will you marry me?” No grand speeches. No over-the-top gestures. Just us — and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Now here we are — planning a wedding, laughing (or crying) through the details, and getting ready to start the next chapter of this wild and wonderful ride. We’re so excited to celebrate with the people who’ve been with us through it all. Let’s make some more memories!
