Ryan and Rachel met back in October of 2013 in Fulton, Missouri at their high school. Within not even two weeks of meeting, they began their relationship together. Over the past six and a half years, Ryan and Rachel have made many great memories. In the early years of their relationship, Ryan spent a lot of time traveling and attending Rachel's basketball games. He always had surprises waiting for her, whether it was asking her to prom or surprising her at far away games. Ryan and Rachel only lived 15 minutes away from each other, so it was easy to see each other many nights after school. Once Ryan moved away for college, you could always find Rachel at Mizzou with him. Eventually, Rachel became a student at Mizzou, and Ryan and Rachel got their first apartment together! After the engagement Ryan and Rachel moved to Kirksville together as Ryan began medical school, and they adopted a 10-year-old beagle, Della. Della is quite spoiled and makes living in Kirksville more fun! Over the years, Ryan and Rachel have been on many trips together. Their first vacation together was to St. Thomas, and they quickly learned they love to travel together. Since then, they have been to Puerto Rico, Memphis, The Dominican, New Orleans, and countless others! Ryan and Rachel are continuing their travels together with a cruise to celebrate their marriage. Getting married in June will definitely top anything else this year, and they are so excited to celebrate their love for one another!
