How the Couple Met
This couple’s love story is one that feels like it was meant to be. Elsie and Ryan met way back in middle school and practically grew up together! After high school, they went their separate ways for college, chasing dreams in different cities. Despite the distance, Elsie shared they always managed to stay in touch, and their connection never stopped. After college, life brought both of them back to the place where it all began – their hometown. Flash forward to the summer of 2024, everything truly came full circle when they got married in the place where they grew up.
