We technically met on Hinge, but for Grandma reading this, let’s just say we met through mutual friends. We instantly bonded over our shared name, our love for Jesus, and our tendency to wear our hearts on our sleeves. By our third date, we both knew—this was it. The beginning of forever. Since then, we’ve shared countless laughs, deep conversations, and quiet moments that have only confirmed what we felt from the start, this is the life we want to build together. We’ve experienced major life milestones side by side. We’ve tried approximately 57 new coffee shops across San Diego (and still counting). We’ve run more miles than we can remember, including one half marathon—where Ryan (Flory) proudly took the win. We’ve gone on hundreds of dates, from rooftop movie nights to almost daily 50% off CAVA dinners. Through it all, we’ve supported each other every step of the way. We’re so excited to continue writing this story together, surrounded by the people we love most.
