Bryce and I technically met my first weekend of college, but our real story didn’t start until my junior year when we went out for a Taco Tuesday with some friends. Somewhere between tacos and margaritas, we hit it off—and from that point on, we were pretty much inseparable. Fast forward eight and a half years (and a lot of life in between), Bryce proposed in Mexico last February—yay! The day also included me getting bitten by a dog, which definitely made the engagement story a little more memorable than expected. Honestly, it felt pretty fitting—our relationship (and now our engagement) has always been full of surprises and little adventures. Since then, we’ve built a life together—complete with our cat, Kiki—and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. We truly can’t wait to celebrate with all of you as we start this new chapter!
