We met during our high school days attending rival schools in the same county. Although we had many mutual friends and encounters over the years, we didn't think much of it until after Tori moved home from Athens. Hanging out on the lake that post-grad summer quickly turned into an inseparable friendship for years to come.
After deciding to take on life together, we never looked back. Our first flight to Phoenix, Arizona is where we both contracted the travel bug, and then made sure to get our use out of Ryan's flight benefits over the next five years. We've explored many domestic destinations as well as a few international… and lucky enough to visit our favorite Italy twice. We also gutted and fixed up a house built in 1952 in the city, where we added to our family by welcoming our sweet Mr. Finn, the long haired dachshund.
When Ryan's plan to propose on our Italy road trip didn't work out, he scrambled for the next best thing… which turned out to be so perfectly us. Proposing in our home that we have put so much into making it ours, couldn't have been more special and intimate. After the complete shock subsided, a 'YES' and a few happy tears, he had reservations at Chateau Elan, where we drank wine together & soaked it all in while sharing the exciting news with our people! We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Arizona! [Please let us know if you plan to travel with us or celebrate from afar - see the 'FAQ' tab for more details]
