Our story began in Washington, D.C., on a warm July night in 2015. We bonded over our shared love of music festivals, travel, fitness, and our home state of Florida while bowling in Georgetown. Our relationship blossomed over the years, dancing to some of our favorite artists at legendary D.C. venues like 9:30 Club, Echostage, and U Street Music Hall; traveling to new and familiar locations; earning obscene amounts of "splat points" at OrangeTheory Fitness; and spending quality time with family in Tallahassee, Tampa, and Lehigh Acres. As we matured in our walk together, we knew God was calling us to a lifetime of commitment to each other. On August 5, 2018, we got engaged in the picturesque Canadian Rockies, where Ryan proposed at Whistlers Peak in Jasper, Alberta. We've thrived through the ups and the downs over the years. And we're incredibly grateful to start this new phase of adventure. Welcome to the union of Rashida and Ryan!
