Mallory and Bryan have known each other for most of their lives. Their families met through church, and they even attended preschool together before reconnecting years later in fifth grade. By middle school, Mallory had a crush on Bryan, and on her 14th birthday, at her birthday party, Bryan asked her out. They continued dating through high school, making memories at homecomings, proms, beach trips, and everywhere in between. After graduating, Bryan attended the University of West Georgia to study business, while Mallory went to Kennesaw State University to pursue nursing. Though college took them on different paths, they continued to grow together, strengthening their relationship while building their futures. After graduating college, Bryan proposed on November 21, 2025. Now, they’re looking forward to the next chapter and celebrating with the people who have been part of their story from the very beginning.
