How did you two meet each other?
We used to work together. Chrissy was a hospitality student at Colorado State University, and worked at the Embassy as a banquet server and Ryley was the assistant director of banquets at the time. One night when a bunch of coworkers got together Ryley decided to tell Chrissy how beautiful he thought she was, and the rest was history. Since then Ryley is now the Director of banquets and Chrissy took a different career path and is now a nurse.
What was your favorite memory from your wedding day?
The whole day was so wonderful, it is really difficult to pick one specific memory. If we had to chose, both of our favorite memory from that day was when we got to first see each other while Chrissy walked down the aisle to Ryley.
Do you have any advice for couples as they plan their wedding?
Be as present as possible, and do not get caught up in the little stuff. We had to change our original wedding plan due to COVID, and now we basically are having two weddings, HOW AWESOME!?
