They say timing is everything, well that certainly was the case for Ryann and Wade. They both went to Radford University, had many mutual friends, and yet didn't meet each other until a couple years after they both graduated. Their love story officially began in late 2016. Ryann played hard to get at first, but it didn't take long for Wade to charm her -- the rest is history! 6 years later, Ryann and Wade have shared countless memories together including beach trips, hiking adventures, moving into their first apartment and current house (and lots of home improvement projects), and the addition of their furry pup, Fritz.

In April 2022, Wade finally popped the question at Burke Lake Park on a random Friday afternoon...the only way to truly catch Ryann off guard! They often visit Burke Lake together to enjoy a scenic walk. They can't wait for this exciting new chapter to begin and are very excited to celebrate with family and friends in October 2023.
