Autumn developed a crush on Bryce in the midst of his senior wrestling season. The two quickly became close and started hanging out every opportunity they got before Bryce left to go to Iowa State.

During college, Bryce and Autumn tried to see each other every free weekend they had. With Bryce at Iowa State and Autumn at UNI, this had some travel time included but they made it work!

Fast forward to college graduation, Autumn moved back to Battle Creek to student teach and Bryce moved to East Moline IL to start his engineering career. Though the distance increased, they still managed to spend quality time together. Whether this was through FaceTime calls or driving the 5 hours, the couples love only grew founder.

After student teaching, Autumn moved to be closer to Bryce. The couple decided on Eldridge IA where Autumn started her teaching career and Bryce continued with agricultural engineering.
