We matched on a dating website - Hinge, in August 2018 and the rest was history! Ryan messaged me a cheesy message about working on a Saturday and from there we didn’t stop talking. We went on our first date the following Friday and it went so well that we decided to go on another on Saturday...and another on Sunday. From there, we drove A LOT of miles. Ryan came down to Abington multiple times a week, I went up to Palmerton frequently, and we spent as much time as we could together. The pandemic hitting gave us a chance to spend more time together with less going on overall. Fast forward to September 2020 and we bought our first house together! Shortly after came Pumpkin in October, Chief in December, and Molly was our surprise pup in May. We spent a lot of time in OCNJ throughout our relationship, especially with the pandemic, so it became one of our favorite spots together. Ryan told me he wanted to go see the Christmas parade so we went down in December 2021 and Ryan proposed! He secretly invited our parents down and carried out the sweetest surprise! We have a full house of pets at home and can't wait to celebrate our wedding with a full house of you- our closest family and friends!
