We're Getting Married!

On December 25, 2019, Bryce and Stephanie matched on Tinder. One thing that drew Stephanie to Bryce was not only his pictures with Stella, but also his clever caption (see below). So here's how this will go: We will start off with a simple "hey" I'll make small talk, you'll mention the puppy. Pretty sure you want to meet the puppy more. Eventually you will send me your number. Risking it all, I ask you out and you say "yes". I wasn't expecting to get this far... Good chance we end up drunk at dinner. Hey, want to choose what happens next? Then go read the first letter of each line. The hidden message? SWIPE RIGHT — and Stephanie did. A few months later, Stephanie finished school at University of New England and took a leap of faith and moved to Maryland to be with Bryce. What started as a Christmas Day swipe quickly turned into the start of their real-life adventure together. This was the time when they truly began building their life side by side—learning how to live together, exploring new places, laughing through the chaos of everyday life, and realizing that Bryce’s Tinder prediction about eventually meeting the puppy was very accurate. Stella quickly made it clear that she was the real star of the household. As if one dog wasn’t enough excitement, they later decided to grow their little family and welcomed Luna. The house instantly became louder, furrier, and a lot more entertaining. Between two dogs, countless walks, and plenty of adventures, Bryce and Stephanie’s life together has been filled with love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos. What started as a simple swipe turned into late-night talks, road trips, lots of dog hair, and building a home together—proving that sometimes the best love stories really do start with a puppy photo and a clever caption. 🐾
