Tiana and Ryley’s story began in the hallways of high school, where a shared leadership class quietly set the stage for a love neither of them could have imagined would last a lifetime. On a Winter Ball dance floor, beneath music and teenage nerves, something clicked and on April 6, 2013, their journey officially began. They grew up together, hand in hand, choosing each other through change, distance, and discovery. From first dreams to grown-up plans, their path led them to Sacramento, California, where they built careers, found lifelong friends, and learned what it truly means to make a place feel like home. Along the way, Noah, a fluffy boy with a big personality and Bennett, a rambunctious boy with a lot of love to give, joined their lives and hearts, creating the family they always dreamed of. On April 1, 2023, during an anniversary road trip through the Pacific Northwest to Canada, love came full circle. At Watson Falls, with mist in the air and the world momentarily quiet, Ryley asked Tiana to be his forever. She said yes, surrounded by nature, love, and the story they’ve been writing together since they were teenagers. This is the beginning of their next chapter. It has been written with laughter, adventure, devotion, and a lifetime of choosing one another.
