We met right before my (Madison’s) sophomore year of college. We started texting back and forth and on July 26th of 2021, we decided that we wanted to have an official FaceTime “date”. We were on the phone for about 4 hours that night and I don’t think that we ever stopped laughing. That night, I knew that I wanted him around forever. On August 1st of 2021, we went on our first in person date. We went bowling (I won, but I’m pretty sure that it was only because he let me). We dated for about a year, and then on my birthday, July 4th 2022, I got the best present I could’ve ever asked for; Ryan asked me to marry him! We have truly been inseparable since the very first moment that we met and I could not imagine my life any other way. We are both so excited to begin this next journey together!
