Jessica + Ryan
Long before Jessica Mitchell and Ryan Czachor knew they would one day stand together at the altar, life was already quietly weaving their story together through friendship, timing, distance, and two very special yellow Labs.
The couple first met in 2019 while working at their first jobs in Austin, Texas. Jessica often brought her dog, Bear, to happy hours, and Ryan always seemed to find a reason to stop by and say hello. A few months later, Jessica learned that Bear’s mother had another litter. Knowing Ryan wanted a dog, she passed along the information, and soon Ryan brought home Kita, Bear’s sister.
Even when life took them in different directions during the pandemic, their connection never completely faded. Jessica returned to Louisiana while Ryan moved to Chicago, but they stayed in touch through Instagram, often commenting on photos of Bear and Kita.
