We're Getting Married!

Ryan and Hope began their love story in 2012 on an online dating app. She was outgoing and loud, and he was shy, but together they somehow brought out a different side of each other. Over the next decade, through miles apart and failed relationships, they always managed to find their way back to each other. They would occasionally grab dinner together, noticing the lingering “What if?”. At one point, Ryan told Hope that he still had hopes for her to one day become Mrs. Lunsford. They were two people with a red string tying them together. It was with the passing of beloved Matthew Perry that resurfaced their conversations. Hope insisted that they get together for dinner (and he made her wait an entire month). In January of 2024, Ryan knew that he was in trouble— Hope had gotten him to dance at a piano bar, and while he pretended to hate every minute of it, he was secretly falling for her all over again. And Hope was drowning in butterflies like it was day one. It was not long before the reality of their fate caught up with them and they admitted that they were in fact still in love with each other. They are more than just best friends… they are soulmates. To finally be married is something that they have wanted for a long, long time. Their chapter is just beginning.
