Our story started on September 20, 2018 with an online date to a coffee shop named Zanzibar in Des Moines, Iowa. Kaitlyn was immediately attracted to Bryce's jovial and upfront personality as he transparently shared who he was on their first date. Something she had not experienced in her past dating adventures. Bryce was captured by Kaitlyn's sense of humor and positive, fun personality and knew after an hour of being with her that there might be a future with this one if she would have him! After the first date, they were inseparable. They quickly fell in love and the rest is history! Bryce and Kaitlyn could not be more excited to be getting married in the presence of their closest friends and family very soon!

Kaitlyn is no stranger to trying to figure out what her future will look like and in the past has not liked surprises. She had her suspicions about a proposal in her near future, but despite her multiple attempts to have Bryce spill the beans, Bryce never wavered. He was very sneaky and started planning Friday date nights to keep Kaitlyn guessing. On June 21st, Bryce took Kaitlyn to Bubba's, her favorite restaurant in Des Moines. Bryce was very quiet during dinner, and if you know Bryce you know that is VERY unlike him. He told Kaitlyn he was tired after a long week at work and needed to make it an early night. Once they arrived home, Kaitlyn walked into a beautifully decorated living room and immediately started crying. She looked over and saw her man down on one knee with a gorgeous ring in his hand. He asked if she would marry him and she enthusiastically said YES!
