Wedding Update: Due to Covid-19, the ever-changing guidelines, and for everyone's safety, we have had to limit our guest count significantly to only some family and the wedding party. We are truly sorry to not be able to celebrate with everyone as planned. We hope you all understand with the current set of circumstances at this time. If you have any questions regarding your invite, please check your RSVP status, or text/call Payton or Ryan. We look forward to a time we can all celebrate together safely and return to some sense of normalcy. Thank you again for your love and support in our lives and upcoming marriage! We are extremely grateful to have friends and family like you.

On top of a beautiful tower, north of our home town, we got engaged under the stars and fireworks, surrounded by colorful lights, red roses, and pictures of us from the past 8 years. The moment was made even more special with our families being there. It was the perfect set up to a once in a lifetime experience. Walking up the stairs to look at the view from the top of the tower where most of our family members already were, Ryan took my hand on the second landing as the song “Speechless” by Dan & Shay swelled from above. At the last few steps I was able to start taking in the beautiful sight that was awaiting us. After making our way across the platform to look at the memories captured in the pictures, Ryan pointed below to our fathers holding up a sign with “Payton, will you marry me?” After getting down on one knee, taking my hand, and sharing sweet words, he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. As if out of a movie, after the word “Yes!” fireworks shot up into the sky as our family snapped pictures of the forever moment. Ryan always said he wanted the proposal to be a surprise. Under the pretenses that our families were simply getting together for dinner, as we have done many times over the years, it was accomplished. I will forever be in awe of it all!
