Once Upon a Time

It’s just beginning.

Lindsey and Ryan's modern day fairy tale began in September 2016, when they matched on an online dating app, Bumble. After a few weeks of exchanging messages, Ryan and Lindsey went on their first date at Cru Wine Bar. Over several hours, and multiple glasses of wine, they learned everything they could about each other. From music to politics, there was no topic off limits. The night was going so well, Lindsey even snuck a text to her friend Shelby, that this was the guy she would marry. What started as a match online, turned out to be the perfect match in person.

Over the better part of five years, the couple made wonderful memories. They frequented Door County, Wisconsin (a Schneider Family favorite), traveled to Disney World, raised their dog, Bryzzo, and made frequent trips to visit and become part of each other's families.

In June of 2021, Ryan took Lindsey on a surprise trip for her birthday. Ryan had planned surprise trips before, but this trip would be his biggest surprise yet. Guiding their trip were twenty eight clues for Lindsey's 28th birthday. Each answer was a stop or activity Ryan had planned. Ryan joked that any clue unanswered, would mark the end of their trip. Thankfully, Lindsey made quick work of each clue over the course of two days. Hidden within her birthday card, the 28th clue was one of the trickiest to solve, but the easiest to answer. With a resounding "YES!", their fairy tale is just getting started.

Happily Ever After!

The next day, Ryan and Lindsey shared a special moment with Lindsey's mom. From Beloit, Wisconsin, they video called her, and shared their exciting news. She was over the moon, and cried almost as much as Lindsey did the night before. The first one to know, Lindsey's mom could hardly wait to share the news with others. Ryan and Lindsey will be forever thankful that they were able to share this moment with her.
