Ryan and I met off of a dating app called Tinder in 2016. Even though Tinder has negative connotations surrounding it, we both hit it off right away from the first message sent (from Ryan of course!). Our first date was at the Mall of the America in Bloomington, MN. At the mall we rode the rides at Nickelodeon Universe, went to the Aquarium, and finally ended the date at Buffalo Wild Wings. On March 25 2016, after a date at Olive Garden Ryan asked me to officially be his girlfriend, and we have been pretty much inseparable ever since! In May 2016, Ryan told me for the first time his feelings towards me and ultimately told me he loved me! A year after dating during the month of July 2017 and after Ryan was accepted to the University of Minnesota: School of Dentistry, we moved into a small apartment in north Minneapolis where we lived for a year. A year later we moved to a different yet equally small apartment in southern Minneapolis. In June 2019, we decided to rescue a Yellow Labrador Retriever (Cooper) from the Animal Humane Society, and he has taught us both what real unconditional love is! In May of 2021, after Ryan completed his last year at he U of M and after he accepted a job offer from Noesen and Associates Dental Office, and after I graduated from Bethel University; Ryan and I embarked on a new adventure down to Red Wing, MN! On November 28, 2021, during an annual Christmas tree hunt at St. Croix Tree Farm, surrounded by my family and our friends Ryan got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever while family pictures were being taken! Of course I said yes! That day I will carry with me wherever I go. Now during this whole year of 2022 (so far), we are working diligently to make sure our wedding day (12/3/2022) is memorable for both us and our guests! We hope everyone is ready to come and party! ☺️
