We`re Getting Married!

Ryan and I matched on Tinder in April 2024, both just casually looking — nothing serious. He was living in Vancouver, and I was in Kelowna, knowing I didn’t want to move back to the coast, so I didn’t think much of it at first. As I was planning my 24th birthday, I had my heart set on doing a wine tour and filling a party bus with 24 people. On a whim, I asked Ryan if he had any plans — he was torn between coming to Kelowna or heading to Victoria. I told him, “Come to Kelowna! Join the wine tour — it’ll be fun!” To my surprise, he and four of his friends made the trip and celebrated my birthday with me. I’ll never forget the first time we met in person. We stepped out onto the patio — just the two of us — and when we looked into each others eyes, we felt an instant spark. It was truly magical. And from that moment on… it’s been history ever since.
