Teele and Ryan met on Twitter (of all places!) in April, 2013. They had their first date when Teele, who was living in Madison, Wisconsin came up to the Twin Cities to visit her sister for the weekend. Their first official date was in May when Ryan took her to Blue Door in St. Paul.
After making a last-minute decision to go down to Florida during the beginning stages of a global pandemic, Ryan planned to propose in Key West. When the bars, restaurants and tourist destinations closed Ryan decided to propose in a state park. When that closed, he decided to do it in Islamorada near a couple of their favorite breweries at Southwinds Park.
Ryan and Teele were married on Smather's Beach in Key West, FL in front of their closest friends and family. They celebrated on a sunset cruise in the Gulf of Mexico and had dinner at Blue Heaven.
