Welcome!

Our story begins in Cape May. Ryan and Raffaella met in high school thanks to Alek, Raffaella’s brother, through their favorite sport wrestling. We were simply acquaintances back then. We both completed 2 years at our community college where we actually had a class together and were able to get to know each other a little bit better, but we remained friends. After transferring to TCNJ, we both had completed a year there, we went to a sorority formal together. Ryan was the absolute best date and we have probably never danced more than that night. Later that summer, we started dating. Fast forward to November 2021, we are away for a long weekend to Boston where Ryan proposed. I was so shocked and confused I could not understand why there was champagne and macaroons in our room. I then looked at Ryan and he was on one knee with a box in his hand that I couldn’t even look at clearly. I couldn’t stop laughing, of course, that we were finally engaged. I said yes with the biggest smile on my face and finally looked at the most stunning ring that Ryan had chosen for me. Today, we are planning and preparing for our much awaited wedding day. We hope that you feel the joy, laughter and love we have for one another on our special day. We are so excited for November 2023, and we cannot wait to celebrate with our dear friends and family! Love, Ryan and Raffaella
