Ryan and Kate met in the storied halls of the Maricopa Medical Center Emergency Department in 2013. In the name of professionalism, they spent the next two years ignoring each other. It took them seven whole days from when Ryan graduated residency and they were no longer coworkers for them to go out on their first date. Ryan will say that it was always his plan, though he didn’t expect it to come to fruition so fast. After 3.5 wonderful, adventure-filled years together, Ryan asked Kate to marry him in New York City on December 17, 2018 under a blanket of Christmas lights.
