THE LOVE STORY OF

RYN & ANDREW

 

PICS BY MORGAN


IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

We met while working at Dutch Bros Coffee. Andrew was hired a few months after me. A fellow coworker and friend knew Andrew from a past job, and we all started spending time together outside of work. Eventually, Andrew and I would see each other every day, and visit each other through the drive-thru line when the other was working. One of the rules at Dutch Bros is that we aren’t allowed to date within the same stand. We secretly were dating and pretended we were just friends for months until finally we had to come clean and separate. Now we are both Managers at different Dutch Bros locations in Lubbock!


THE PROPOSAL

We were on a trip to Vegas after I graduated from college to celebrate. Two of our other close friends were there with us. Andrew took us to the Bellagio hotel, where they have beautiful botanical gardens. When we arrived at the gardens, our friend (and officiant), Noah, took our picture, and Andrew pulled a ring out of his bag and proposed!


WHAT MOMENT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?

Our first look!

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TWIN LAKES?

Compared to all the other venues we toured in the area, Twin Lakes is somewhere we could actually visualize our friends and family celebrating with us. Jane gave us the tour, and it didn't feel like we were just customers to her; she made us feel like family, and we loved it!


DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR FUTURE COUPLES?

Marry your best friend who only brings you up, never down. enjoy the little things in life together, and put in effort to understand each other.
