We're getting married!

It was a high school party when Sammy dropped her phone and thought it broke. Ryan walked up to her, pretended he worked at Verizon and said, "it'll be just fine!" After a quick, young fling, Ryan went off to the Marines and Sammy attended University of Rhode Island. In 2017, after a virtual re-connection, Ryan flew from California to surprise her for her 21st birthday. Ryan and Sammy did 3 years long distance, before the two of them road-tripped across the country to bring Ryan home for good in 2018!

A bunch of our friends got together and stayed in a rental house on Lake Winnipesaukee for the 4th of July -- little did Sammy know, everyone was in on the soon-to-be proposal. On the 3rd, Ryan lined the dock with flowers and candles, walked her to the edge of the dock and got on one knee. After "YES!" was shouted, families and friends came together and the celebration began! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with everyone we love. See you in Beverly!
