This is so wonderful. What a beautiful, hilarious tribute. Happy birthday (again!), Ryan!

Also, I don't want to overlook the narrative importance of wardrobe here: "...tight-fitting black slacks, my vintage wooden 70s platform shoes, a wide-collared black dress shirt with a gigantic, full Windsor-knotted vintage necktie and a red-paisley smoking jacket."

HOLY. SHIT. 🙌

Thank you for the double-birthday greetings Chris! Ryan's outfit was indeed fabulous. (And fabulously described.)

Happy, happy birthday Ryan!❤️

Loved, reading your story of how you first met and fell in love. Of course, I know the short version but that was a joy to read.

Thank you! We were written in the stars, it seems. And so were you and your cousin! Love you both!
