We met in 2020. We matched on Hinge less than a month before the world shut down due to the pandemic. Texting all the time rapidly turned into FaceTime dates that lasted hours. Meeting in person was electric. There was a connection, a familiarity, that we both felt from the very beginning. We felt like we had known each other for years or maybe in a past life. After about a year of long distance, we decided to live in the same city to further our connection. From there, we knew we were meant to be in each other's lives. Through late-night food runs filled with laughs, impromptu trips to Asheville, and the adoption of Ms. Bagel Dior, our love continued to grow immensely. We became each others place of solace when things got chaotic. In October 2024, we cemented our commitment to each other when Ryan proposed to Jayda at Camp North End - the place where we became boyfriend and girlfriend 4 years prior. The life we have built together is one neither of us would trade for anything. It's time for the next step - husband and wife!
