In 2013, Ryan moved from New York and Marina moved from Massachusetts to Fort Myers, Florida. They first spoke to each other through a Facebook group for the dorms. In the moment, they were just getting to know each other and hoping to become friends. Unaware of the fact that they would end up spending almost all of their time together! From that moment on, they have been enjoying making memories together.


Ryan proposed to Marina on July 4, 2023 at her familys Fourth of July party in Wareham, Massachusetts surrounded by endless amounts of love and support.
