How We Met

We met in the unlikeliest of circumstances- in the begin of the COVID pandemic in 2020. When everyone else in the world was staying home and keeping at least 6 feet apart, we matched on a dating app. (Bumble, to be exact!) On our first date we made home made pasta together, and after that realized something just felt right.

From that point on, we were inseparable. We spent those early months getting to know each other in lock-down, and a few months later, we took the leap and moved in together.

Over the years, we’ve called a few places home—starting in Saginaw, then Dallas, and back to Saginaw—but one thing never changed: we were in it for the long haul. On February 3, 2024, the day before Nicole’s 30th birthday, Ryan proposed in Cabo. A month later, we took another big step and bought our first home together!

These days, you can find us working on house projects, making memories, and hanging out with our four-legged sidekick, Rusty Wallace (pictured, looking as handsome as ever).

We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
