Bryce and Allison first crossed paths during their freshman year of high school in 2013. Although Bryce didn’t realize it at the time, Allison had a big crush on him. Their story paused before it could truly begin when Bryce transferred to another school at the end of the year, and the two never had the chance to become friends. Fast forward to 2020, when fate brought them together again at a college bar in Flagstaff. This time, Allison had the courage to finally admit her longtime crush. Just a few weeks later, Bryce and Allison went on their first date—marking the beginning of their story.
Bryce and Allison were in Pinetop, Arizona, where Bryce convinced Allison they were heading out for a casual nature walk. At the very early hour of 7:00 a.m. on August 8, 2025, they set off around Woodland Lake, joined by family who were secretly serving as photographers. Bryce led Allison to a quiet bench just off the path, where they sat and enjoyed a peaceful moment together. Bryce shared a heartfelt prayer and talked about how much Allison means to him. Completely unaware of what was coming—and proving that she truly felt at home—Allison jumped in with some commentary and even requested a prayer addendum, which did nothing to calm Bryce’s nerves. After the prayer, Bryce fumbled in his pocket for a moment, took a deep breath, and got down on one knee. With tears in his eyes, he asked Allison to marry him. Her immediate response? Total shock, followed by: “What the ****, are you serious?!” Once the answer became a very enthusiastic yes, the tears, hugs, and laughter started. It was a morning full of love, surprise, and a proposal story that will never be forgotten (or lived down).
