Bryce and Amalia were introduced while out with friends on October 19, 2014. Her roommates ran into an old friend from college and Bryce was in the friend group at the Buckhead bar Lost Dog. Amalia saw Bryce and told her best friend/roomie Kelsey that she wanted to meet him. Kelsey walked up to Bryce and told him to come say hello. Bryce and Amalia exchanged numbers and he texted Amalia the next day, then planned their first date for the following weekend.

On Friday evening before the proposal, Bryce and Amalia were having dinner at their favorite pizza spot, Anticos', when Bryce surprised Amalia with floor level tickets to the sold out Chris Stapleton/George Strait concert. The next day, the couple spent the morning at the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival, followed by lunch at Snackboxe Bistro. While Amalia was getting ready for the concert, Bryce got the ring out of his car and slipped it on his key chain to sneak it in past her during security at the Mercedes Benz Stadium. Bryce wanted to propose during the couples favorite song Tennessee Whiskey, but there was a lot of foot traffic in the area and he didn't want there to be any distractions. During George Straits performance of 'Run', Bryce turned around and asked strangers to record the proposal and take pictures. Amalia was completely surprised because anyone who knows Bryce knows he is more reserved and such a public proposal is out of his comfort zone. Bryce asked, Amalia said yes, and the couple ended the night with a toast on the rooftop bar of The Glenn Hotel, where the couple shared their first 'I love you' in March of 2015.
