Meet Ryan and Natale. They met the summer of 2008 after Natale had graduated college and Ryan had graduated high school. A midnight movie premiere with mutual friends is what initially drew them together but they found an instant connection that has kept them going strong. After dating for a while, Natale moved away to start a 3 month tour with his band but when he returned they were inseparable and have been together ever since. Ryan knew she wanted marriage to wait until after her college graduation so they continued to date all through her time in school. On their fifth anniversary, Natale brought Ryan to the end of the San Clemente Pier to propose (the same place they had their first date…well done Natale!). He had arranged for both of their parents to hide and had champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries ready to go. “We decided together that marriage was right for us. Natale never thought he would get married before he met me and he brought it up first. We are best friends and soul mates. We want to confirm our love and devote ourselves to one another for the rest of our lives in front of the people we love most.” Ryan’s description of their marriage perfectly captures the ambiance of their wedding. The bride and groom just wanted to enjoy their time becoming husband and wife and they did exactly that while surrounded by the rustic trees of Temecula Creek Inn.
From Ryan: “What I like most about Natale is how caring he is. He is so thoughtful and takes every opportunity to understand people. He is funny and even after seven years he still has me laughing. He is very smart and great at being there for me. I love his passion and how he loves me. We are opposites and I think that makes us better as individuals and very special couple.”
From Natale: “What I like most about Ryan is the way she makes me feel, and the love we share. She is kind and sweet and makes me a better person everyday. She has made me happier than I ever thought possible!”
