We met while living on opposites sides of the world; Ryan had already been living in Portland for one year, while Grace was working abroad and preparing to move back home to Oregon. Our first date was preceded by nearly two months of flirtatious online conversations. We didn't feel like strangers when we finally met in-person. Our first date was karaoke at a dive bar on a Monday night. We both knew pretty quickly how special each other was, and it wasn't long after that we decided we were a thing. A year later we moved into our first apartment, and after that, added our sweet pup - Cleo -to our family. We have been by each other's side for nearly seven years, and we can't wait to celebrate the beginning of this next chapter in our lives with you!

We were on a family vacation in Disneyland. Upon planning the trip together, Ryan had casually mentioned proposing there; Grace replied, "just don't do it in front of the castle," so instead, Ryan popped the question in front of the Millennium Falcon.
