From a fun first meeting that wasn't quite the right time, to a kindling of the flame years later, all the way to this gorgeous fall wedding day, these two wonderful souls gravitated together to the altar.

To hear the story in their own, as well as their friends' words, you get to take part in their grand adventure! Not all are quite as lucky as Riley and Ryan, whose big day was surrounded by perfect weather, peak autumn colors, and a dynamite sunset tucked away in the cozy Carolina Grove!
