Merritt & Ryan
The Couple
Merritt & Ryan
Merritt & Ryan met in 2018 during their senior* year at Texas A&M University (*technically their 5th year).
By happenstance, Ryan became roommates and close friends with Merritt’s high-school-friend, Gage Morrow. While Merritt was living with Gage’s now-wife, Alex, she found herself spending a lot of time with the cute roommate, Ryan…
5 years later, Ryan popped the question at the top of a ski lift in Telluride, Colorado.
We can’t wait to celebrate our marriage with the people that we love most!
