“The whole wedding felt very us; casual and sometimes silly.”

Good morning! This latest beautiful couple are Cayse & Ryan who were married at the amazing Holliston Historical Society with amazing images from Oh! Karina Photography. I’ll hand straight over to Cayse as her & Ryan’s story is so cute!

We were introduced by a mutual friend after a ladies night where we may have consumed Mad Dog 20 20 and an absurd amount of bacon while watching Arrested Development. The aforementioned MD 20 20 lead to a lot of complaining about how horrible my ex was and how I wanted to meet a nice guy “who just wants to hold my hand”. My friend immediately texted her fiance’s friend, who was a drummer in his band, to tell him she had a friend who “wants to kiss you”. Keep in mind I’ve never even seen a photo of the guy. Ryan, who was on a camping trip in North Carolina, replied with “Is she hot? She better be.” What a pompous jerk right?

My friend set up a group dinner and invited him anyway. When they came to pick us up he was wearing jeans and flip flops (one of my pet peeves) and it was raining. Oh Florida style. And it was a giant failure, or so I thought. He was silent pretty much the whole time and my rambunctious friends and I were quite the opposite. The next day our mutual friend forwarded me a text message from Ryan to her asking for my phone number because he had a really great time and wanted to ask me out. She also tells me Ryan wouldn’t shut up about how pretty he thought I was while they were in a separate car driving to dinner. Turns out he’s a bit awkward and does not speak while eating and I’m a bit awkward and quite vocal while doing all things. It was awkward happiness from there on out!
