We're Getting Married!!

Sally & Ryan’s love story began December 2008. A bunch of friends were heading down to Saddle Ranch at CityWalk to celebrate Holly Hall’s birthday (a bridesmaid!). Sally & Ryan met ordering drinks and she challenged Ryan to ride the bull, a quick & funny failure. They exchanged numbers but couldn’t spend any time together as Sally was heading to Tahoe the next day & then back home to San Francisco. They kept in casual contact throughout the years but nothing more than a comment here & there. The stars just weren’t aligned...yet. Sally started her career in SF while Ryan started grad school in LA. But in July ‘15, the stars started to align. Ryan was in SF when he saw Sally walking by. Since it had been many years, he thought it best not to surprise Sally in such a sudden way. But unknown to both, a seed was planted in Ryan’s head & heart. The stars continued aligning when Sally made the fateful decision to leave her beloved San Francisco & be closer to family in LA. Flash-forward to April ‘16: Ryan and Sally match on Tinder! Sally had thought about reaching out to Ryan upon her move to LA, but it just took a match on Tinder. “Hey! Don’t we know each other?” Sally messaged over. Ryan froze. All he could think was how weird he was going to come off remembering her, thinking she didn’t remember him. As he was scrambling for what to say, Sally messaged “I’m just kidding, Ryan. I remember you.” That was the moment he knew there was something special about her. About a week later, they had a date set up. Their first date was on Cinco de Mayo ‘16 & in traditional fashion, they went to a German bar. They caught up, people watched, & started to fall in love. Their love would continue to grow with each passing day. In between the trips and adventures, they adopted their cat Cruz & moved to South Pasadena. Most recently, Ryan asked Sally to marry him. (She said yes, but you already knew that ;) ) They can’t wait to start this new chapter in their life together!
