We met on the porches of mutual friends at the University of Dayton. On St. Patrick's Day in 2016, Libby asked Ryan if he would be her date to her sorority event in a few weeks. Ryan shrugged and said "sure!" - her roommate was taking his roommate, so it made sense to go "as friends." Turns out, we hit it off and started dating that summer. Ryan got to hang around campus for another year at UD while Libby finished her senior year. For the past 7+ years, we've taken countless trips up and down 71 to visit each other in Columbus and Cincinnati, hiked in 14 national parks, and traveled to 21 states together. On March 25, 2023, Ryan surprised Libby and proposed at Washington Park while walking to brunch, followed by another surprise celebration with family and friends in Cincinnati. We can't wait to enter this next chapter of our lives surrounded by all of our favorite people!
