In the quirky realm of office shenanigans and misplaced trash, fate decided to play matchmaker for two unsuspecting souls, Bryce and Donna. They crossed paths in September of 2019, though Donna had a memory lapse regarding their initial conversation. But little did she know, that forgettable chat was the first thread in the tapestry of their love story.

October 2019 marked Donna's valiant attempt to connect with Bryce after overhearing his tales of Oktoberfest. Armed with a zest for friendship and an eagerness to share her study abroad adventures in Germany, Donna tried to strike up a conversation. However, Bryce, possibly overwhelmed by visions of beer steins and lederhosen, swiftly brushed past her. It seemed even the mighty power of German culture couldn't break the ice.

In a strategic move, Donna orchestrated a trash disposal mission that conveniently led her to Bryce's cubicle. Ah, the classic "I need to throw something away" maneuver – a subtle but effective strategy to catch Bryce's attention. Recycling bin? Check. Bryce's curiosity? Double check.

Their journey into coupledom began with a series of happy hours, where the clinking of glasses and the laughter echoed through the office halls. Some might say they indulged in one too many beers, but it was all in the name of camaraderie, right?

Fast forward to March of 2020, where Bryce and Donna embarked on a whimsical trip to Mohegan Sun casino. The dice rolled in their favor, and amidst the neon lights and slot machines, their hearts found a winning combination.

By April 2020, they officially labeled their connection – it was more than just office banter and a recycling bin rendezvous.

July 4th, 2020, a day hotter than the summer sun itself. Bryce, sweaty and determined, declared his love for Donna on a hike at Sleeping Giant. It was so scorching that even the sun took a break to admire the dedication. Sweating profusely in the summer heat, he poured out his heart, making the declaration both heartfelt and perspiration-soaked.

April 2021 saw the momentous occasion of Bryce becoming the esteemed "Dog Dad". Declan, gave his paw of approval, making Bryce the official fetch champion of our household. Moving in together was a challenge, a monumental task of relocating from Apartment 2214 to Apartment 2215. Oh, the hardships of switching one door number!

The pinnacle of romance was reached in June 2021 when Bryce dropped the marriage bomb on Donna at a Texas Roadhouse. Rumor has it, the rolls were warm, but Donna's heart was warmer.

In October 2021, Bryce orchestrated an enchanting engagement experience that transformed Wickham Park into a romantic wonderland. Donna, armed with determination and a keen eye for handwritten love notes, embarked on a quest that felt like a mix between a treasure hunt and an episode of "Sherlock Holmes." As she gracefully followed the trail of affectionate clues, Bryce, ever the romantic architect, waited for her at the hilltop. Little did he know, Donna was on the verge of becoming a love story archaeologist with her tender pursuit. Shoutout to Jeremy Willis for capturing the magic and Amanda Michaud for being the GPS of love.

June 2022 saw the couple embarking on a new adventure – homeownership. Their abode, a cozy castle, was now the perfect setting for the chaotic energy of not one, but two furry companions. The duo decided to expand their family in October 2022 by adopting a second furry troublemaker, Onyx, adding four more paws to the chaos.

As their love story continues to blossom, Bryce and Donna eagerly anticipate the magical moment in June 2024 when they'll joyfully declare "I do." Surrounded by an abundance of love, infectious laughter, and perhaps a sprinkle of cheesy jokes, their journey promises to be a heartwarming tale.

Cheers to a lifetime filled with shared laughter and enduring love. Stay tuned for the unfolding chapters of their happily-ever-after, an enchanting story destined to warm every heart!
