Our story began 4 years ago on a blind date at Mulligans mini golf in Torrance, CA. Ryan won at mini golf but Patrice won when it came to drinking that night! We made it official January 1st 2016. Summer '16 we traveled to Dubai, and by the end of the year we had moved in together. Not long after living with each other we realized that living together was easy, and we loved each other unconditionally. Being both set in our careers we agreed that we were ready to start a family and got pregnant with Jacob June 2017. As many of you know already, Ryan proposed at our baby shower in January 2018. We were blessed enough to purchase our first home together not long after that, and had our greatest blessing, Jacob, March 7th, 2018. Looking back we accomplished a lot in 4 years! We are excited and looking for forward to beginning the next chapter of our lives as a married couple living Happily Ever After !
