The Bride & Groom
Emily
Born in Japan, Emily grew up weaving through the French-speaking streets of Montreal, and eventually found herself in Northern Virginia. She has a knack for finding beauty off the beaten path, a mind always buzzing with ideas, and a soft spot for places most people overlook. When she’s not chasing down hidden gems or dreaming up her forever home, she’s quietly working to leave the world a little better than she found it. After the celebration, what she’s looking forward to most is something simple: going home.
Ryan
A Moroccan in Virginia Beach, a hockey player in engineering, a tattooed businessman working with video games—these seemingly contradictions find a way to form the Ryan we know. Driven by passion to understand the worlds he chooses to be in, his ambition can be intimidating to some. Beneath the competitive rush to achieve, is a heart that beats fiercely for those he loves. A friend, a brother, a son and a soon to be husband, it is to no surprise he pours his energy and devotion into his relationships. Those who truly know him understand the depth of his loyalty, kindness, and the unwavering support he offers to the people he holds dear. His time in Morocco isn't just about marriage—it's about celebrating life and gratitude with those around him, especially as he embarks on his next adventure with the love of his life.
