Our love story

Whitney felt when she met Ryan they fit together in Gods plan. Ryan was less certain, but a friendship blossomed & a relationship began. After mos. of dating they took a break to confirm Gods will. W/in wks Ryan knew his desires came from Him & went ring shopping that evening. 3 days later he led Whitney into a room of loved ones & said, “Our lives have been woven together 5 yrs. You found a place in my heart reserved for 1; I love you. Will you marry me?” They kissed each other for the 1st time

Three important details about our ultimate wedding.

Firstly, we would want our guests to feel pampered and appreciated. From catering to favors, they would have delectible treats and signature drinks.

Secondly we desire a day that reflects us as a couple. Personalized elements such as written vows and a beautiful monogram would leave our fingerprints on the special day.

Thirdly we would want the wedding to rapture our guests into a dream world. Lavish floral arrangements, romantic candlelight, luxurious linens, and swanky music for dancing.

Our ultimate dream home.

Ryan builds custom homes, and Whitney works for an architecture firm, so we have an appreciation for custom design elements. We like a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, and hope for a home that is warm and inviting. We love entertaining friends and family and desire an open floor plan. We would decorate with warm colors and black and white accents throughout the home. We love dark wood and black and white pictures. Furniture should have a sleek design but comfortable feel.
