Caitlyn and Ryan married on the shore of her family’s summer home overlooking Great Sacandaga Lake in Broadalbin, New York. The wind had died down that day, and the weather cooled to the mid-’70s, a beautiful and unexpected temperature for July. The first time I met Cait and Ryan in person, they made the trip to Manchester for a short practice session. They had driven from Durham, New Hampshire, some two-and-a-half hours away, the day after Ryan received his MBA from UNH. It was great to take a walk with them, to hear a little more about their relationship, and how Cait was first friends with Corrin, Ryan’s younger sister. Cait once saw Ryan in a family picture, and Corrin laughed, saying they would be a great fit. But, the two wouldn’t meet for another year-and-a-half when they matched on a dating app.

Corrin officiated the wedding, and the day was full of friends and family, 150 or so. But, it felt much smaller than that because their guests were so kind, so willing to share with me how they knew Cait and Ryan. Congratulations, you two. It was a pleasure to collect these moments for you.
