Celebrate with us!

We got married in the Bahamas on October 01, 2022. However, we want to celebrate with our friends and family who were not able to join us there. Please, join us in January for a reception.

Ryan and I had been camping on Deer Island for four days and enjoying our time together. On the last night of the trip, we stood on the point of the island and watched the pink sunset reflect on the glassy water of Phillpott Lake. As we were standing there together he sighed and I asked, "why are you sighing, that is not your happy sigh, that is your I am thinking about something sigh" he looked at me and said, "we have been together too long" and after a short pause said, "will you marry me"...I said. "yes!"

Relay for Life was held at the Giles High School track like it is every year. We were both kids with the desire for mischief and to stay up all night while supporting cancer research and our friends who had lost loved ones. As kids do we promptly left our adults and formed a roaming pack playing everywhere we could, the track, the bleachers, the end-zone of the football field like I said anywhere. As the night wore on they turned off the lights for candle lighting, prayer, and fireworks during this time they handed out glow sticks which we children promptly broke open and began flinging at each other. I thought Ryan was cute so I, of course, made every effort to cover him in as much glow-stick insides as possible and he did the same to me. Ryan got the glow stick liquid in my eye and then spent the next hour helping me flush it with water. We started to like each other right then but were silly and did not exchange phone numbers, instead we went our separate ways after that night and spent the summer wondering who the person we had so much fun with was and if we would see them again next year at school. When school started back up we didn't take much notice of each other, as our class schedule had us on opposite ends of the building and different floors, until mutual friends of ours thought, "Hey, they would be perfect for each other" and reintroduced us. When we were reintroduced backstage at highschool drama practice the feelings of that night came flooding back, we did exchange numbers and the rest is history.
