Our journey began in August of 2017 as two shy kids who were unsure about their future decided to use a dating website called ChristianMingle. With less than a month on the website, they saw each other’s profile and the magic began! It was as if God was just waiting for them to take that first step and He had the most beautiful plan in store! Even though Katie was very shy at first and too scared to reply to Ryan's sweet message on the site, Ryan messaged her again and Katie took a leap of faith. She messaged him back and the magic was instant. It wasn't long before they were going on their first date and the rest is history! :)

On a gorgeous September day plans were made for Ryan and Katie to spend the afternoon and evening together, but little did Katie know that Ryan had SO much more in store for this beautiful September Saturday! :) With Katie being occupied by getting her nails done with her sister on this random Saturday morning, Ryan came over to the house and started transforming the backyard into the most magical, gorgeous scene for the day that would begin our forever. Ryan hung pictures, had a red carpet out, candles lit, and even heart shape glitter! Now all that was needed was the unexpecting bride to be! Katie was absolutely speechless when she came home and found Ryan standing underneath the gazebo surrounded by our precious family and the most beautiful decorations she had ever seen!! He far surpassed every dream Katie had ever had! He created the most beautiful, breath taking proposal ever! He makes his bride the happiest girl in the world!
