Michael and Riley's journey began on the same street in Newport Beach, CA. They grew up as neighbors, attended the same Bible study, and Michael's sister Megan frequently babysat for the O'Bryans. Their paths often crossed, yet they remained just acquaintances due to attending different high schools and colleges. God had other plans when Riley visited Nashville for a girls' weekend and Michael "coincidentally" returned home from South Dakota, where a storm had canceled his spring football practice. A spontaneous ice cream outing rekindled their connection (along with some nudges from both of their sisters), and the rest is truly history!
