While Hannah was taking a gap year from William & Mary, she reconnected with friends in the Richmond area, and was introduced to Bryce through them. After sparks flew at a New Year's Eve party hosted by Bryce, they slowly began dating while keeping in mind the potential for long distance with both of them attending different colleges. They agreed to give it a try anyway, and the 1-hour drive only proved to strengthen the bonding at each visit. After moving to Virginia Beach in 2020 for Bryce's new teaching job, the couple grew together in their first apartment. During a vacation to Washington DC in May of 2022, Bryce popped the question at the US Botanic Garden! The couple has since grown their family to include one furry friend, their orange cat Chipper.
