Step into the enchanting love story of Ryan and Shelby, a journey that unfolds from the charming streets of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to the inviting warmth of Bluffton, South Carolina. Fate brought them together during law school, where they shared classes but only truly connected after conquering the bar exam and embarking on their individual legal journeys. It was a twist of destiny that led them to reunite at a local bar in Columbia, SC, just before the world changed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ryan, the ever-innovative romantic, devised unforgettable pandemic-friendly dates when most restaurants were closed, including a delightful boozy picnic in the scenic Horseshoe park. Ultimately, their love blossomed, and soon they found themselves not only sharing similar experiences as young lawyers, but also a home in Greenville, SC. The irony of two lawyers falling in love was not lost on them, and they playfully joke about the "intricacies" of their relationship - a sentiment shared by their beloved dogs, Ella and Cam. Initially skeptical, Cam, described affectionately as a grumpy old man, found an unexpected best friend in the energetic goldendoodle puppy. Ryan sealed the deal with a proposal at San Giorgio Maggiore Church in Venice, Italy, a gesture that paid homage to his Italian heritage and to Shelby's Catholic upbringing. Their European adventure continued, exploring the captivating landscapes of Spain and England before returning home to craft the next chapter of their lives. Now, with hearts full of gratitude, Ryan and Shelby eagerly anticipate returning to Bluffton to exchange vows in the company of the friends and family who have been their pillars of support from the very beginning. There's a unique magic in the Low Country air, and they feel blessed to celebrate their union where Shelby's roots run deep. Join us in witnessing the culmination of a love story that commenced in law school, flourished across continents, and is now poised to take root in the place that holds a cherished piece of their hearts.
