We met online in January 2020 and had our first date at 18th Street Brewery - completely unaware that a global shutdown was right around the corner. What could’ve been terrible timing turned out to be the start of something really special. From socially distanced walks to Tiger King marathons, we built a connection that quickly turned into the real deal.

Over the past five years, we’ve shared so many adventures: exploring Zion, the Grand Canyon, and Vegas, spending weekends at the lake, enjoying time with family and friends, and hiking the Dunes with our golden retriever, Moose. We moved into our first home in 2023 and have taken on more DIY projects than we can count (and somehow still love each other through it all).

In March 2025, Ryan proposed in Chicago, just before a concert by one of our favorite artists, Gregory Alan Isakov, with the Chicago Philharmonic. It was the sweetest surprise, and of course, Jordan said yes as soon as she stopped crying.

Our journey has been full of love, growth, and joy and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all the people who’ve been part of it. We know getting married in Mexico isn’t the most traditional or convenient option, and it means the world to us that you're considering making the trip. Our hope is to give everyone not just a beautiful wedding, but an incredible vacation - because each and every one of you means so much to us.

With all our love,

Ryan & Jordan
