Las Vegas, Nevada
How One Right Swipe
Changed Everything
For those who don’t know the full story, it didn’t begin with a chance encounter — it began in July 2021 with a Bumble match, a forgotten notification, and a second chance. When the clock ran out, Ryan extended it. She replied — and everything changed.
They met that Thursday at Juniper Moon in Des Moines for what was meant to be a casual drink. It wasn’t. Evenings together became routine, the app was quietly deleted, and less than a month later they took a spontaneous road trip to Colorado Springs. Somewhere between mountain views and long conversations, they both knew something real was unfolding.
A few adventures later, Ryan planned one more — to South Dakota. From the Badlands to Mount Rushmore to a quiet cabin in Hot Springs, the trip was unforgettable. That evening, under the pretense of focusing a drone, he got down on one knee. It was thoughtful, private, and perfectly them.
They can’t wait to begin their next chapter — surrounded by all of you.
