Ryan and Natalie's Wedding in Liverpool, Merseyside

Our Real Wedding

Our love story is quite wild. Me and Ryan met on Twitter back in September 2023, I'm from Merseyside UK and he's from Northern California, 5000 miles between us. Despite this distance, within just 2 weeks of speaking via text & phone calls, we knew we loved each other. So, on 17/10/2023, we said we loved each other, and that was that. Fast forward a year to 17/10/2024, during the start of a massive road trip along the west coast of the US, Ryan asked me to marry him- the easiest yes of my life. Now, 3 years after we first said "I love you", we got married, and our love story continues to develop.

From an early age, I have dreamed of the "perfect day". I always thought I'd marry someone nearby, in the town hall, and keep it low-key. Never in my wildest dreams would I be marrying someone who started 5000 miles away from me, wearing a cream wedding dress, in a church, with 100% gluten-free food. All those things were never in my vision, but my god did it become the perfect day.
