The Mabrys

We first met during freshman year at Wheaton College during our dorm's "open floor" hours. Olivia had noticed a plant in a window of one of the men's dorms and decided to meet the people in that room first. The plant happened to be Bryce's roommate's, but we became friends after that, bonding over video games, music, and sense of humor. Not long after, we became very close friends, spending most dinners and studying together with our other close friends, Liz, Reece, Michael, and Matthew. We started dating on March 7, 2021, after we found that our feelings were mutual for each other! We both graduated from Wheaton in 2023 and have since then been long-distance, as Bryce lives near St. Louis and Olivia lives in Northern Illinois (though this past year she has lived in Rochester, Minnesota, while studying at Mayo Clinic). The reason for being long-distance was so that we could pursue the career goals that we believe God has called us to. We knew that with Jesus at the center of our relationship, we would remain strong and devoted to each other. Bryce proposed to Olivia in March 2025, where we would frequently spend time together while at school, at the Wade Center on a quiet bench nestled in the trees. We hope those who attend our wedding get the pleasure of watching us step into a new chapter of our lives as well as see how God has and will bless us, transform us, and lead us.
