Can you tell us something special about one another?

An introvert and former Boy Scout, Ryan grew up with a baseball always in his hands. He has since then discovered a love for golf. Last year, his New Years resolution was to go to a new city by himself every month (his brother is a pilot, so he has the buddy pass). Ryan somehow managed to fit in 12 new cities while dating Carly- impressive! He also has an amazingly dry sense of humor and is a fantastic salsa dancer.

As a lover of pineapples, Frank Sinatra, and white magnolias, I always knew I was going to have a southern themed wedding. Family is so important to both Ryan and I. He’s a total Southern Californian boy hailing from Orange County, and while I was born and raised in SoCal as well, my entire family is from and still resides in Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and even the Midwest! 35 family members flew in from 6 different states to be a part of our big day! Also, while Ryan will tell you that I’m a “Disney princess reincarnated”- that is simply not true :)- but I do know every line and lyric to Beauty and The Beast! And because of those childhood memories, it was important that my dad and I walked down the aisle to the instrumental version of “Tale as Old As Time.” I sobbed all the way down, of course. The minute I turned the corner, the flood gates opened. But I also cry during Hallmark Christmas movies and in any chick flick, for that matter. Speaking of, I really think my love for the The Notebook inspired my wedding vision, too. There is nothing more southern or more romantic than that classic love story!
