Our story begins in 2013, during our freshman year of high school, when Bryce and I shared our first class and became friends. It wasn’t until junior year, though, that we truly grew close. Then, at the start of senior year—on October 24, 2016—after a volleyball game and a stop at Dick’s Drive-In, Bryce told me how he felt, and the rest is history. Since then, we’ve finished high school and college, became homeowners, and built a life we love. Bryce proposed while we were on vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I thought we were simply taking photos on the beach with friends before dinner. When Bryce and I were ready to go, our friends were “running late” and asked us to find a good spot for pictures. Bryce kept walking me up and down the beach, while I was ready to just wait for everyone to arrive. I finally suggested we stop in one area, and as we were walking, he called my name, and I turned back toward him down on one knee. I had absolutely no idea—and I very happily said yes. We called our family and friends to share the news and then celebrated with dinner. Now, exactly ten years after he asked me out, we get to say “I do” in front of all the people we love! We are so excited to celebrate this day with you, here’s to the next chapter!
