Our Love Story - From Tequila Shots to 'Yes'
Our story began in the most unexpected way—at a tiny Christmas party with just six people. Cameron was there as a guest of someone else (a girl who, fun fact, didn’t exactly get along with Ryley). During a very competitive gingerbread house contest, she made sure to let Cam know exactly how she felt about “the girl in the corner.”
That girl? Was Ryley.
Curious, Cam went to see what the fuss was about and found her handing out tequila shots like the life of the party. Coincidentally, tequila just so happened to be his party drink of choice. That moment sparked something, and he knew he had to talk to her.
Cam following the party reached out… with a highly suspicious excuse: he had “forgotten” three beers at the party and needed to come get them. Ryley thought he might be a bit of a cheap skate—but she returned the beers, and the two of them haven’t stopped talking since.
Not long after, Cameron’s family welcomed a puppy named Poppy. She quickly became the next excuse to invite Ryley over (because if you know Ryley, you know dogs are the way to her heart). It worked like a charm.
Over time, they bonded deeply—especially over their love of cooking. Cam’s style is all about flair and creativity, while Ryley brings warmth, comfort, and heart to the kitchen. Their meals became mini love stories, shared over laughter, music, and probably a little too much taste-testing.
Cam fell for Ryley’s kindness, her ambition, and the way she lights up when chasing her goals. Ryley fell for Cam’s honesty, his creativity, and the quiet steadiness he brings to everything he does.
Then, in January 2025, in a moment filled with nerves, joy, and perfect timing, Cameron got down on one knee—and Ryley said yes.
From tequila shots to puppy cuddles, shared kitchens to forever plans—our story is a little unconventional, a little chaotic, and absolutely ours.
