From meet-cute to engagement

To this day, Ryan and Jess can't agree on who introduced themselves to whom. Click the button to the left for their individual timelines of how they met.

On May 24, Ryan asked Jessica to marry him through an emoji-based scavenger hunt—an homage to their hopelessly nerdy love of Geocaching. Click the button to the left for a few recollections from the proposal.

A note about our design

Our sincere thanks to Rachel Eskandari of Phoenix's very own Pink Puddle Studio for our wedding design. This design pays tribute to Jessica's favorite pastime of sticking flora in Ryan's beard—from baby's breath to pinecones, from wedding centerpieces to the Grammys afterparty decor.

He's got a long marriage ahead of him.

How we feel about social media

If you know us well, you know that we are huge proponents of integrating technology into everyday life. Although photography is not allowed during the ceremony, we encourage the use of cameras at all other times. In your Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter posts, please use the hashtag:
