We’re getting married!!

Our story began on February 25th, 2021, over dinner at Don Pepe with my friend Madison and her mom, Melody. While scrolling through Facebook on Madison’s phone, a picture of Ryan popped up — his mom, Nancy, had just posted a photo of him graduating diesel school and he was in front of his big monster truck lol. I immediately said, “Ooo… who was that? He's cute is he single?” After learning who he was and hearing that he might be single, Melody didn’t hesitate. She reached out to Ryan’s mom, Nancy, on Facebook to ask if he was still single— and even sent her a picture of me. Ryan woke up the next morning to a text from his mom with a screenshot of Melody’s message, and shortly after, he added me on Snapchat. On March 6th, 2021, we finally met in person when Ryan came over to my house and met my parents and my little sister. From that moment on, everything felt easy and meant to be. We hold Madison and Melody especially close to our hearts — without them, we truly wouldn’t be where we are today. Though Melody has since passed, her kindness and encouragement played a meaningful role in bringing us together, and her spirit will forever be part of our love story. After years of growing together, Ryan asked me to spend forever with him on July 4th, 2025— and I said yes of course!! We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
