Our story began in high school, when I was a junior and Bryce was a senior. We met in a criminal justice class, where I first noticed Bryce and thought he was the cutest guy in the room. From that moment, I knew I wanted to get to know him better. Looking back now, it feels almost surreal to think that what began in a classroom all those years ago would lead us to this moment, standing side by side, ready to begin the rest of our lives together.

On May 10th, 2025, Bryce planned the most magical surprise. He took me to Cedar Springs Pavilion, the same place where we had taken our prom pictures years ago—a place already filled with special memories. My parents told me we were going there for family pictures for Mother’s Day, so I had no idea what was really about to happen. When we arrived, Bryce insisted I get out of the car and walk with him down to the pond. That’s when he turned to me, got down on one knee, and asked me to spend forever with him. At first, I couldn’t even believe what was happening—until I saw the photographer step out to capture the moment. It was truly the most magical day.
