Story

The first time we met was in the Summer of 2010, in Santa Barbara, California. We met through our now Maid of Honor, Christina. Almost a year later we’d spend our first camping trip together exploring the beaches of Big Sur, CA. Our paths would remain intertwined through our entire twenties - through the thrills and excitement of discovering our passions, and navigating the grief of our losses. It is truly a joy to have had the support and love from all those closest to us along the way. We are so excited to continue supporting each other through all the new adventures to come.

Tidbits

What are some of your favorite activities that you do together?

Long drives around the country, hiking and climbing, spending time with our pets, and going to live music shows together!

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

We spent last summer road tripping around the country! We explored the Redwood Coast in California, the City of Rocks in Idaho, the Uinta Mountains in Utah, and the limestone cliffs of Ten Sleep Canyon in Wyoming. The summer road tripping culminated in our summit of the Grand Teton in Wyoming, where Ryan proposed to Shannon at the summit!

We’re on the same page about

How much dog hair on our clothes is acceptable.

A life goal of ours

Hike, camp, or climb all 63 National Parks in the United States.

The dorkiest thing about us is

We're both big nerds about a lot of things, but you should hear the list of silly pet names we have for each other.

We are regulars at

Smith Rock State Park!

We take pride in

Our nerdiness, our life choices, the work that we do.
