Our Story Ryan and I first met at Nonnewaug high school in 2009. He was my first real boyfriend, and from 2009 to 2011, we shared many of life’s first milestones—young love, laughter, lessons, and memories that have stayed with us ever since. Although life eventually led us down separate paths, Ryan still remained close to my family. Ryan and my dad would go to the races together, deliver hay to my home all while Ryan and I had gone our seperate ways. However, life had a way of bringing us back together. In 2019, nearly a decade later, our paths crossed once more—this time older, wiser, and ready to build something lasting. What followed wasn’t just a reunion, but the beginning of a true partnership. Since then, we’ve built a life rooted in love, respect, and a deep connection that continues to grow. We are proud parents to two of the worlds sweetest babies, Claire & Dylan, who complete our family, along with two dogs and a cat who add their own kind of chaos to our home. Together, we’ve traveled, grown, and learned how to choose one another—intentionally and wholeheartedly—every single day. What began as teenage love has evolved into a bond that is stronger, deeper, and more meaningful than we ever could have imagined. This wedding is not only a celebration of where we are today—it’s a reflection of everything we’ve overcome, everything we’ve become, and the journey we’re still on together. We are so grateful to share this moment with you. ❤️
