Allyssa was living in Kalamazoo, MI for college and working at a local gym. Bryan had just moved to Kalamazoo for work after living in Ohio his entire life. He was looking for a new gym and came in for a tour where he laid eyes on Allyssa for the first time. Bryan left that day and turned to his friends saying, "I'm going to marry that girl". Bryan and Allyssa’s jobs have taken them to multiple states across the country. Little did they know that 5 years later, that comment Bryan made outside a local gym in Kalamazoo, MI to his friends would become a reality as he proposed on Lake Tahoe with their family by their side.
