Bryon and Allison first met on February 1, 2020, at a party. Allison walked right up to Bryon and sparked a conversation—and the two instantly hit it off. They spent the entire night talking, laughing, and getting to know each other. Before the night was over, Bryon asked for Allison’s number, and they’ve been chatting ever since. Just two days later, Bryon asked Allison out on their first date. What was supposed to be a simple outing turned into an all-day adventure: Chick-fil-A, bowling, the family fun center, ice cream, a movie, and even a few laps in Bryon’s stick-shift Subaru BRZ (which he somehow trusted Allison to drive! —and yes, she did great). After a few more dates and meeting each other’s families, Bryon asked Allison to be his girlfriend on February 14, 2020. A month into their relationship, COVID hit and the world shut down. Even with quarantine keeping them apart, they made it work—texting and FaceTiming every day. Their connection only grew stronger, and five and a half wonderful years later, Bryon knew it was time. On July 20, 2025, he planned a double date with his cousin and her husband at one of their favorite places—Padigan Winery. After taking photos by the bocce court, Bryon got down on one knee and asked Allison to marry him. She said yes! They are so excited to celebrate this special moment with all their friends and family—and to begin forever together. 💕
