How we got here
Ryan thought Rachel was cute from behind the drum set, and the two became friends on Instagram. Even though their paths crossed over the years, it wasn’t until much later that they actually met.
Ryan served on the worship team with Rachel’s sister and sister-in-law and eventually asked them if Rachel was single. After getting the green light, he sent her a DM.
One message turned into a conversation, a conversation turned into a 12-hour first date, and we just never stopped dating. From Disneyland adventures and road trips to family game nights and hockey games, countless memories later… here we are, ready to walk down the aisle in November!
