A Love Story for the Ages: From High School Friends to Soulmates
Every love story has its own unique journey, and for this couple, theirs is one filled with serendipity, shared laughter, and unforgettable memories. From high school acquaintances to life partners, their journey is the perfect reminder that love always finds a way. Here’s a glimpse into their beautiful story, as told by them.
The Beginning of Forever
“We met in high school and started dating a couple of years after high school ended. We reconnected at our local Ranchman’s during a birthday party for a mutual friend. We danced to Springsteen by Eric Church, and the rest is history!”
This magical moment on the dance floor marked the beginning of a love that has stood the test of time. From a chance reconnection to building a life together, their story is as heartwarming as it is inspiring.
A Decade of Love
They’ve been together for an incredible 10 years! Through it all, their bond has only grown stronger. Whether it’s exploring new places, sharing quiet evenings, or simply laughing together, their love is rooted in friendship and a deep understanding of each other.
Date Nights and Shared Joy
For these two, quality time is everything:
“We love going out to breweries and for pizza. Eighty-Eight Brewing Company is one of our favorite spots :) Otherwise, a board game night at home is always a solid date night.”
Their sense of humor keeps their connection alive, and they cherish the moments they share, whether it’s over a slice of pizza or a game of Scrabble.
The Proposal: A Full Circle Moment
Ryan’s proposal was nothing short of magical:
“He popped the question on a trip to Vancouver! It was the first place we went on a trip together as a couple, so it was a full circle moment.”
Choosing a place with such sentimental value made this milestone even more special. It was a testament to the journey they’ve shared and the adventures still to come.
A Year Abroad and 10+ Countries Together
This couple’s love for adventure has taken them across the globe:
“We lived in the UK for a year together to work and travel. We have travelled to over 10 countries together!”
From working abroad to exploring new cultures, their shared experiences have deepened their bond and created countless memories they’ll treasure forever.
The Wedding Day: Intimate and Unforgettable
When it came to their big day, they knew what mattered most:
“There are so many amazing memories from that day. Having such a small wedding was truly the best. We got to spend time with all our friends and family, and it made for a great party!”
Their decision to keep things intimate allowed them to focus on the love and joy surrounding them. It was a day filled with laughter, dancing, and the warmth of their closest loved ones.
A Dream Honeymoon
Just two days after their wedding, they embarked on an unforgettable honeymoon:
“We went to Croatia and Greece! It was an amazing way to relax and spend time with each other post-wedding.”
From the crystal-clear waters to the stunning sunsets, their honeymoon was the perfect start to their married life.
The Emotions of the Big Day
When asked how they felt on their wedding day, their response was pure joy:
“We felt a bundle of emotions! Above all else, we remember how joyful we felt. We were truly on cloud nine.”
Their happiness was palpable, and it’s clear that their wedding day was everything they dreamed it would be.
Advice for Future Brides

“Enjoy every moment—the bridal era goes quickly! Spend time on the things that matter most to you and focus on enjoying the day with your special person.”
