How We Met

1.25.17

A true modern romance! Despite both growing up in Trumbull, Connecticut, Ryan and John's paths never crossed. In 2017, they finally met on the popular dating app Bumble. A week after their initial "match", they had their first date at the Barrel House in Stamford. You might know it today as Fiesta. And that was the start of their story!

The Proposal

10.12.19

It was supposed to be a regular weekend getaway for Ryan's birthday. Her birthday is in August, but scheduling conflicts pushed the trip back to October. John had arranged a stay in Watch Hill Inn's famous Lilly Pulitzer suite. Little did Ryan know he was also planning the surprise of a lifetime. Before they even checked in, a stroll on the beach turned into a proposal. They were cheered on by local fishermen who had watched from afar. "Seen any rocks lately?", they asked before pointing to Ryan's hand. "Oh, there's one!", they exclaimed.
