About Couple


"We met at a blue grass festival in Wisconsin in 2020 during covid. They sold only a few hundred tickets vs thousands because of that. Ryan was visiting from California with some friends. I was finishing up raising two teenagers and getting ready to hit the road as a travel nurse. We fell for each other instantly. We spent the weekend falling in love and then started dating long distance for the first year and a half or so. The crazy part is that we are the same age, went to the same small town high school, have had a lot of the same friends for our whole life and never met before! It was written in the stars. We had a lot of really special moments out on the coast which is why we are so excited to exchange our forever vows there where the magic all started. Eventually I traveled out there and worked as a nurse then took Ryan with me across the country and to the VI where we lived for 7 months amongst covid. We moved back to Wisconsin together a couple of years ago now to be closer to friends and family and put some roots down eventually."
