Danielle & Ryan’s Wedding
February 24, 2024
Hey. You're probably reading this thinking, "Gee... I can't wait to hear the most romantic story about how these two met." So many visuals running through your head:
~
"Did they fall in love at a masquerade ball only to find out their families have an ancient grudge?"
Nope.
"Did they both order the spaghetti and share an unlikely kiss at the end of a noodle?"
Nah.
"Did he buy a giant house across the lake from her house in hopes to impress her with lavish parties?"
No, but that would've been pretty cool, huh?
~
No, no, no. Our story is even more classic, romantic, and modern than any of those options. Just like all good love stories, our stars crossed on Tinder. A real "I'd-swipe-right-on-you-every-time" sort of thing. Ryan insists that Danielle super-liked him, but Danielle says he's full of it. After a quick match on the app, we went on a date, talked for hours, and decided that should continue. For like, a long time.

After 5 years (right?), Ryan surprised Danielle with a sunset beach proposal in Cancun before dinner, which was dangerous because Danielle can get pretty hangry... He asked, she cried, they made out, and the beach security guard was kind enough to take a picture.

Now, you've been invited to the most exclusive event of 2024. Seriously, not a ton of people are invited. So you're like, pretty special. We're so happy you're here and we sincerely hope you can come celebrate with us. And by "celebrate" we mean "party."

All our love,
Ryan and Danielle
I met Dani when the Ryans (my husband is also named Ryan. I know, confusing, right? Stay with me though…) joined the fire academy. Her and I soon realized that if we didn’t find a partner in crime amongst the sea full of over-achieving women, it’d be a longgggggg couple of months for us both. Her and I banded together to fight against the high standards and crippling pressures of homemade lunches, perfectly creased uniforms and organizing play dates with our sarcastic humor and mediocre at best housewife skills. A beautiful friendship blossomed during a time of outward smiles and inward screams. Strengths: finding the dog in any social situation, putting the cart away at the grocery store. Weaknesses: math, chocolate chip cookies, filling up my truck with gas. Conversation Topics: your pet, your last vacation, your childhood trauma, that damn ex of yours, the love of your life, what you had for breakfast, if your dress has pockets. Anything goes.
Tori’s husband, Ryan, will accompany her down the aisle.
I met Ryan several years ago while we were both working at Station 17. He was a struggling rookie, and I was a dynamic, inspirational Paramedic Engineer. We got to know each other through those busy times, and I came to realize something: under that cool/calm demeanor was a trustworthy, hardworking, and caring individual. Years later I convinced Ryan to work with me again at Station 26. It was during this time that I came to appreciate his devoted nature towards his family, friends, and especially Danielle.
Strengths- self awareness
Weaknesses- sharing things about myself
Things to talk to me about- labradoodles, sports, food
Sean’s wife, Jeanine, will accompany him down the aisle.
