As classy as it gets… they are aware, but their first interaction was at work. Most everyone already knows but Ryan is a firefighter and Lindsey is a dispatcher for the City of Ottawa. In the wee hours of the morning in 2015 Ryan found himself plagued with a bought of insomnia while on shift. In an effort to pass the sleepless night Ryan decided to head downstairs to dispatch as there is always someone awake. As luck would have it Lindsey was on duty. They spent hours in conversation about a multitude of topics. When the conversation ended that night so did Lindsey and Ryan's communication, or so they thought… Unbeknownst to either a fib was told that would hold them apart for 5 years. After that night, Ryan was told a complaint had been filed by Lindsey and he was no longer allowed in dispatch, and true to Ryan form he followed those instructions and did not return. It would seem any spark that had been lit by the hours long conversation that night had been snuffed out. Fast forward to February 12th 2020, Lindsey and Ryan met up for a drink at Eastwood in Streator. Ryan decided he wanted to clear the air and asked Lindsey about the complaint she had filed, turns out, there never was a complaint. Lindsey exclaimed several times over that she had not filed any such complaint, and she never would as she had enjoyed their conversation that night, and just like that... the spark was reignited! All it took was that second meeting and a drink to get things rolling. They started dating and then just one month later they professed their love to one another. In that same year Lindsey received the question of a lifetime on New Year’s Eve when Ryan asked her to be his wife, and enjoy that "chat" for the rest of their lives. The pair has become inseparable, best friends and proud doggie parents of two that cannot get enough of one another. The beginning is written, and now they begin their adventure to their happily ever after with that fire in their eyes for one another.
