In the cosmic collision of a modest chip 'n' dale and a cow costume on Wakefield Court in Santa Clarita, the stage was set for a love story that was utterly hilarious. Kaitlin, adorned in her bovine attire, engaged in a wild grass-eating spectacle at a party, catching the eye of Ryan, who was dressed to impress in his chip 'n' dale outfit.

Fast forward to a summer of In and Out runs after Kaitlin's lifeguard shifts at Hurricane Harbor. Ryan unintentionally became the ranch hand her parents never asked for, working hard for Jack in the Box tacos. Their days were filled with fixing up the ranch, all for Kaitlin's mom's dreams (and a few tacos).

Amidst adventures to hidden swimming holes, Smokey The Bear abductions, and drives down curvy roads to not-so-safe spooky houses, their friendship blossomed. Even when Ryan's family moved, Kaitlin took the train to continue their adventures, transitioning from dirt roads to sandy beaches.

And then came the first dance, where Ryan, armed with charm and a pen, penned a letter longer than a CVS receipt to ask Kaitlin to her Senior Formal. While Kaitlin was dolling her self up for the dance, Ryan was down San Francisquito building a 110 track with her brother dad and Ryans best man, Austin. Kelli, Kaitlins mom was very upset to not find Ryan showered, dressed and ready for pictures and gave Ryan quite the ear full for it. Ryan made pictures with little time left in the evening before the two took off for their night out.

So, Ryan joined the Army, and Kaitlin, being the supportive adventurer, took trips to his parents' place in Thousand Oaks during his leaves. One day, fueled by tales from a local Mexican restaurant in Frazier Park, they decided to take Ryan's unsuspecting family on a hike.

But, uh-oh, they missed the trailhead and ended up leading Ryan's poor mom, Sue, and dad, Gary, up a mountain using rocks as their trusty guide. Ryan, ever the explorer, set forth to check out what lay ahead. Lo and behold, he discovered the correct trail, guiding the family to a breathtaking frozen waterfall. Guess the Mexican restaurant's directions were more like a comedy script!

2021, Ryan surprised Kaitlin on a camping trip for her birthday in Ventura. Where he rented the prettiest HOT pink bike to cruise bar to bar with their friends. They had not seen each other since her fathers 50th surprise birthday at Rincon where Ryan brought a blow up doll and played with Dan's road flares on the beach making Kaitlin blush.

2023 Ryan was moving from Alaska to Louisiana in his beautiful Barbara the van and his cat Karl Marks when he decided to stop in and see Kaitlin at her new home in Texas, the trailer hood. Amazed with how welcoming the community was, he witnessed a neighbors arrest, got handed drinks by Kaitlin's father figures and told to stay for a couple weeks by our matron of honor. Many gel blaster orbeez, a few to many welts later, home projects, a very late night trip to the vet ER after Kaitlin's dog decided to choke on a stick, Armadillo hunting and a few concerts they started to look at each other as more then friends. The mustache made it hard for Kaitlin to not fall for.

After their first kiss it was obvious they could not live without one another. Barb, Karl and Ryan drove off to his new station in Leesville LA, where Kaitlin followed shortly after. While in Louisiana they endured many obstacles of finding non-fried foods, touring the Leesville Walmart, and letting their four legged kids meet. A hellhound bent on saving her mother and a cat determined to find the code to break open his automated feeder. Most cases opposites attract, this case they just stick to very opposite sides of the room. Creating our family of four

The couple traveled back and forth from Dallas to Louisiana multiple times with one Curry smelling car break down before Ryan decided to pluck his Trailer Park Princess out of Dallas and have her as his wife.
