It all started in the Fall of 2016 at Penn State when Brie's twin sister, Avery, invited her to an apartment party where she would meet Bryce for the first time. Immediately after the party, Brie confessed to Avery how she thought Bryce was really cute. For the rest of the semester, anytime Avery mentioned she was going to a party or event, Brie would ask if Bryce was going to be there and made sure to tag along. However, nothing ever came to fruition until one year later at the beginning of the Fall 2017 Semester. By happenstance, Bryce and his roommates moved into the empty apartment across the hall from Brienne and her roommates at The Legend. From the moment the semester started, it was obvious how strong the chemistry was between them. It didn't take long until they were chatting & flirting together in the corner of every party. Brie started inviting Bryce as her date to all of her dance team functions and Bryce started surprising her with Dunkin coffee on her nightstand with a ♡ written on it. Fast forward to 2019, they both started new jobs in Philadelphia where they moved into their first apartment together. Since then, they have traveled to ten different states, survived the work-from-home challenges of a pandemic, moved three times and adopted their pittie mix, Hurley! In August 2023, on a misty evening while on vacation, Bryce proposed along the shore path in Bar Harbor, Maine. Although suspicious that Bryce was going to ask her to marry him, Brie was still so overwhelmed with excitement that she blacked out during half his speech and couldn't eat any of her food at the dinner that followed. Bryce + Brienne are so excited for their next chapter and cannot wait to celebrate with everyone on October 3rd!
