Dallas and Ryan met in Champaign at the University of Illinois... their first meeting may have been a little fuzzy and it was probably at the ORIGINAL Kams(RIP) or Red Lion. Their friendship really started to grow Senior year when Dallas lived next door to Ryan’s fraternity brother’s senior house. Their first documented picture together was when Ryan knocked on Dallas' senior house door at 1 AM with a fresh Papa John’s pizza to share with everyone (if that’s not love at first sight I don’t know what is). Fast forward to March of 2020 and Ryan asked Dallas to dinner the week the world shut down due to COVID. They spent most of the next weekends together cooking, making drinks, and watching whatever the newest Netflix show was (Tiger King was watched in 1 day). Their relationship has always felt easy, even in the hardest of times. From the uncertainty of COVID, to preparing to become parents, to navigating life in the NICU, and the most rewarding challenge there is, parenting, the two have held each other's hands, lifted each other up, and fallen more and more in love with each other and their biggest blessing -- Rowan. Dallas, Ryan, and Rowan cannot wait to welcome you to their new home of Charleston & celebrate a day they have been dreaming about for years.
