Our story started in a place we never expected: playing Xbox together. What began as simply meeting through something we both loved quickly turned into so much more. We spent hours playing games, talking, and getting to know each other, and we realized how many things we had in common.

Over the past two years, we have discovered just how much we love doing life together. From our love of Disney, video games, and traveling, to all of the little moments in between, we are constantly reminded how lucky we are to have found someone who shares so many of the same passions and interests.

Some of our favorite memories together have come from traveling and experiencing new places, which is why we are so excited to celebrate our wedding by creating another unforgettable adventure with the people we love most.

On July 23, 2026, exactly one year before our wedding day, we got engaged during a family trip to Aruba. It was the most perfect and unforgettable moment.

We got engaged at Passions Restaurant on Eagle Beach, and the timing could not have been more special. The entire week in Aruba had been unusually cloudy, and we had not seen a single beautiful sunset. Then, on the one night we got engaged, the clouds cleared and we were gifted with the most beautiful sunset of the entire trip.

We truly feel like that moment was a sign that everything was meant to happen exactly the way it did. As soon as Ryan asked me to marry him, the live jazz performer started playing "Marry You" by Bruno Mars, which made the moment even more magical and something we will never forget.

July 23 will always be such a special day for us. We cannot wait to celebrate our love, our journey, and this next chapter with all of the people who have supported us and loved us along the way.
