The life stories of the bride and groom started to intertwine with long training's and countless stolen glances while the other wasn't looking. Aria and Riley were both Resident Assistants at K-State, when they started hanging out just as "friends," so they both thought. One afternoon of hammocking led to a few nights of talking until 3am. After one last hanging out session Riley finally got the courage to ask Aria "so what are we doing here, do you like me?" To which Aria proclaimed "of course!" So one thing led to another and thus started Aria and Riley's journey as girlfriend and boyfriend. This era was filled with many great days including the trials and tribulations of getting to know one another, proclaiming and growing their love for each other, and learning to compromise (still working on that one). As the end of their college careers grew ever closer the decision was made to get married (shocking I know). So, a new era was born. One that entailed an engagement on a cliffside, many life changing decisions, and ultimately the excitement of finally starting a life together. And these two can't wait to celebrate this monumental occasion with all of you, our loved ones! -Riley Smith
