Brady and Mallory met in sixth grade (he will swear it was actually in fifth at an afterschool chorus practice), and became fast friends through middle and high school years, sharing a love of Zac Efron movies. While falling out of touch, they reconnected in 2021, during Brady's third year of medical school at East Carolina. They dated "long-distance" for a while, traveling back and forth from Greenville to Raleigh, but agreed to start a life together wherever Brady matched for residency! Match Day 2023 (March 17th) was full of nerves! Neither of us had any idea of where in the US we were about to head next! When Brady opened the envelope that said Ohio State/Nationwide everything changed in an instant! We were headed to COLUMBUS! Over the past two years, we have LOVED discovering Columbus. We love our house, with a great front porch where we can easily walk to the local library, Drexel Movie Theater, and Graeter's ice cream. We love our community of Bexley that throws block parties all throughout the summer months. And we love exploring new breweries on the Columbus Ale Trail, that has taken us all over the greater Columbus area! As we have built our new life here, we cannot wait to share it with you all! Columbus and Bexley have come to mean so much to us. As we take the most important step in our relationship so far, getting married, we are excited to bring our friends and families to our new home and celebrate the life we are building together.
