Ryan met Mia six years ago while he was working at Horizons West Surf Shop. She walked in as a customer doing Christmas shopping, and left with a date for later that week. Ryan and Mia became friends because they both enjoyed the beach, and the Santa Monica nightlife. They both felt a strong attraction to one another, and casually dated, but always remained friends. They both had a lot to experience before they could be the people that they are to each other today. Ryan did some traveling and Mia got her Master's degree. They reconnected last year when Ryan got back from Central America. After a two month pursuit, Mia agreed to a date. Since that date, they have been inseparable. They realized quickly that they shared the same ideas and values, and that they both had never stopped thinking about each other. They moved in together after a month of spending every minute together, and became engaged on Fourth of July. They are very happy to have found each other at the right time in their lives, and can't wait to share their love with you, on their wedding day.
