Ryan and Kimberly met during a trying time in Ryan’s life. “God gathered us together at a time where we needed each other the most- when I was suffering from addiction. I actually met Kimberly at the rehabilitation center that she worked in. When I was discharged she checked up on me and saw something in me. She believed in me and I’ve been clean for three years.”
Ryan proposed to Kimberly on her 34th birthday. “He surprised me in front of my family after he made me a delicious meal.”
Fifty guests were in attendance for their February 2020 nuptials, including a twelve-person wedding party. “It was a small, intimate gathering with our close family and friends. We did a sand ceremony to include the children as we are a blended family. I wanted to include them so they all felt special.”
The couple wanted an elegant feel for their wedding and went with a color palette of rose gold, burgundy, navy. “It was beautiful everything came together so well. We had special seats for my late father and Ryan’s late mother. We had a sparkler send-off that made for beautiful pictures. We were so busy at the reception, we didn’t end up eating our dinner. When we left we stopped at Rutter’s and got food in my wedding dress and his tux.”
Kimberly is a production control clerk and Ryan is a cook. They currently reside in Waynesboro.
