Well, I'm sure it comes as no surprise to anyone, that we met under the worst of circumstances. But in the midst of the most devastating time in our lives, we were blessed with the gift of each other. God had his hand on our relationship long before we met and we found that in doing the right things in our lives, good things happened. We found each other. Our relationship started out as a friendship and we took things slow and got to know one another before we decided to meet up. At the time, we lived 3 hours apart. From the first kiss on top of a rollercoaster (Ryan's idea;), to the 6:00 am sunrise on the beach that was interrupted by rain, we knew we were right where we belonged, next to each other. After that, we maintained a long distance relationship, exchanging love songs, sweet texts, and seeing each other every opportunity we had. We found that our second chance became a new beginning, in fact a whole new world. It is our honor to share this union with our closest friends and family.
