We met on the dating app "Hinge" on a Sunday. Ryan was the first and only date Christa went on. Meeting Ryan was an instant and undeniable connection. We had so much in common and somehow on our first date managed to talk for an entire 3.1 mile run- only two days after meeting on the app. From there, we walked to dinner and the conversation continued without pause. Little did we know, that day was the beginning of our forever together. Our similarities, love and respect for each other make every day better than the last. We can't wait to celebrate with you all on our special day!

We had already decided on the perfect ring in late August... on Christa's birthday nonetheless! One Tuesday evening Ryan asked Christa to go for a walk when she got home from work. Two miles later we approached an Italian restaurant...at 8pm...coincidentally in grey hoodies and grey sweatpants. Three courses later we made our way home, only for Ryan to get down on one knee asking Christa to spend the rest of her life with him- followed by a bouquet of purple flowers of course!
