Our Story
If you have found yourself here on this site, we would like to say welcome!
Some of you already know our story and how we met, while some of you might not know our story at all.
So we shall start from the very beginning, in 2011 at Stafford High School. One day the school had threatened to have a tow truck come and tow away cars without permits for parking. Cars like Sarah's because god forbid she follow any rules at 16 years old. Ryan's study hall happened to have the perfect view of the parking lot so Sarah gave him her cell phone number to keep her updated on the tow truck situation.
We spent the following 3 years virtually inseparable before going our separate ways; with Sarah working on her college degree and Ryan working on his own career.
In August of 2018, we found ourselves reunited and once again inseparable. Ryan initially stated we "probably wouldn't hang out that much." Jokes on him, however, because after just four months of dating we moved into our first apartment together. One year in and we were given our cat (Tank). After two years of dating we purchased our first house, adopted a puppy (Remi), birthed our beautiful daughter (Olivia), bought a camper for family vacations, and brought home a second puppy (Milo)!
In April of 2022, Sarah planned a massive family photo shoot for Olivia's first birthday which was to include both Ryan's family and Sarah's. At this point, Ryan had reached out to the photographer to surprise Sarah with the most beautiful proposal in the middle of this photo session. He even came prepared with a custom shirt made for Olivia to wear that said "My mom and dad are getting married!", bottles of champagne, and glasses for everyone to toast after.
Obviously, Sarah said yes!
Now, fast forwarding to the future, we cannot wait to celebrate with all of YOU in 2024!!
