Ryan and Jaimie met on a hiking trip in the mountains of North Carolina. They hit it off immediately and became friends. For more than two years following, they were best friends with no intention of dating one another. That all changed at the end of 2017. During the winter of 2017, their friendship began to shift from being just friends to more-than-friends. Ryan and Jaimie's relationship gradually grew, and in the early summer of 2018, we were officially dating. As time passed, the relationship only grew stronger. It became quite evident that marriage was on the horizon, and on April 21st Ryan proposed to Jaimie on the beach during sunrise. Jaimie responded with a resounding yes. Ryan and Jaimie were originally going to elope since it's far more cost-effective, and what's really important to them is that they're with one another. However, in light of the fact that this is such a substantial life event, they decided it is appropriate to celebrate with a wedding. And that's how the story begins.
