Our Story

How We Got Here

A Little About Us

Our story began in college at a Steak ’n Shake where Chrissy was working as a server.

Chrissy: I put Ryan in my section immediately because he was cute. It took many, many months for my friends to stop referring to him as “cute boy.” Some still do.

Ryan: I took my time working up the courage to add her on Facebook, and she accidentally took her time adding me back.

Our first date was watching Star Trek: The Next Generation together in Ryan's dilapidated college house. Lucky for him, Chrissy stayed anyway.

Once we finally connected, something just clicked. Since then, we’ve grown up together for 13 years. We’ve moved through new chapters, and built a life filled with the small moments that somehow became the big ones. This wedding is our way of honoring that journey and celebrating with the people who have supported and shaped us along the way.

We’re so excited to share this day with you.
