Ryan likes to joke and say that we met at a bible study class, but in reality we matched together on the Bumble app in late 2021. Our first date was at a smokers dive bar in Watauga. The lingering smoke in the air could not mask the feelings we felt on that day together.
Ryan is born and raised in Richfield, Minnesota. He moved to Texas in 2021 because he wanted to see more of the world. In what he thought would be a year or two living in Texas, he ended up finding the love of is life, and by extension his new home. Victoria was born and raised in Texas, if you asked her what country she was from, she would say Texas. We met in late 2021 and started dating in April 2022. We got engaged October, 29, 2023. Ryan proposed at Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth, with her siblings hiding out in the bushes taking pictures.
