Micalyn spent a semester in Ghana in 2020 and heard a lot about this guy named Ryan who infiltrated her friend group. When she returned home, Ryan Wood and Micalyn Maier spent a lot of time together going on dates to the GRR airport to watch the planes land. We (*cough*Micalyn*cough*) took our time to label ourselves as dating, but as we learned more about each other, found out we loved many of the same things and had a lot of fun together. Ryan moved to Denver in 2022 and we found ourselves dating long distance with the grace of Ryan's flight benefits to bring us together often. Ryan proposed in April 2023 on a cruise with his brothers and our close college friends. In August of 2023, we eloped in a small ceremony in San Antonio, TX at Ryan's parent's home. We moved to Cleveland, and then moved to Chicago shortly after. We look forward to celebrating our 1-year anniversary with our family and friends in 2024!
