Bride: Brigitte + Ryan
From New Orleans Adventures to an African Dream Honeymoon
Brigitte McAtee and Ryan Joshua Yates’ love story is one woven from life’s beautiful simplicities and enduring moments. Their journey together began just before the world changed with the COVID-19 pandemic, and through every twist and turn, their bond only deepened. After nearly four years of love, laughter, and shared adventures, they exchanged vows on October 7, 2023, surrounded by family and friends in a celebration that perfectly reflected who they are as a couple.
For Brigitte, keeping her maiden name was important, as she had already established a successful career as a veterinarian. Though she didn’t officially take Ryan’s last name, they affectionately refer to themselves as “The McYates.” This lighthearted spirit is a testament to the joyful, down-to-earth connection they share.
