Our Wedding

Bryce is from a town north of Dallas, TX called Wichita Falls, and Kylie is from a small town just north of Cincinnati, OH called Lebanon. Before Kylie started her first job out of college, she and her mom went on a girls trip to Grapevine, TX (their favorite place in the world.) While Kylie was there, she and Bryce started talking a little via social media because they had been previously following each other. Once Kylie realized Bryce was living in Cedarville, OH, because he went to school there, and Bryce realized Kylie was only visiting Texas and was actually living in Covington, KY, which was only an hour and a half from Cedarville, they met up for a date in Downtown Cincinnati when Kylie got home from Texas and the rest was history!

How We Met

Our Story

Photos

Rachel and I have been friends for over 10 years, we met in Junior High from a mutual friend. I always loved how cute Rachel wore her headband, but never said anything to her because I thought she was so intimidating. Little did I know that after we would be introduced, we would become the best of friends and spend the next 10 years inseparably by each others sides. Rachel even endured 4 whole years of being my roommate at UC including one of those years when I brought a husky puppy into the picture without telling anyone-now that’s Maid of Honor worthy!

Rachel

Abby is my oldest friend and is more like a sister! We have known each other since I was 3 years old. Abby’s mother, Tammy, watched my brother and I while our parents worked full-time jobs, and Tammy treated me as her own child and all of her children treated me like their own sibling and still do to this day. Abby and I got to grow up together and Abby has been the sister I have always wanted. We definitely fought like sisters- ask Abby about the story where she locked me in a bathroom when we were younger! 

Abby

Alexis and I also have been best friends for about 10 years! Alexis, Rachel, and I were inseparable when we all first met 10 years ago, and are still best friends years later. Alexis’s family has always treated me as their own and throughout the years, Alexis and I always made each other our “plus one” to everything from weddings to family gatherings for holidays. Seeing each other grow up all these years has been such a blessing. Alexis’s daughter, Tatum, is one of my flower girls and I think of her as my own niece.

Celine and I became fast friends this year after meeting at work. We instantly clicked and she has quickly become one of my best friends. I know I can count on her for absolutely anything and she has already gone above and beyond for me in times when I’m in need. She never fails to put a smile on my face or make me laugh uncontrollably at all of the memes she sends me. Even though we have not known each other for a long time, it feels like we have been friends for years, and I know this is a friendship I will cherish forever! She is the most caring and loyal person and I decided I could not stand at the alter without an amazing friend like her by my side!

Kilee and I have been best friends since we met my Sophomore year of high school! We’ve had many things in common over the years, like going to a personal trainer together, being the two blondes with the same name, being called “K-squared,” and our dogs (Indie and Trollie) being the bestest of friends! Kilee has been such a great friend over the years and I can’t wait for many more! We’re both always late to everything too, which makes us the perfect pair (just ask Bryce how much he loves this!)

Kilee

Lauren and I first met when we joined Tri-Delta (our sorority) in college. From the moment Lauren and I met Freshman year, we spent literally every single day together the rest of that year, and most days together the rest of college. My roommates were starting to wonder if Lauren was going to be our honorary 5th roommate Freshman year because of the countless nights she spent on our couch. Lauren has always made me feel like I can completely be myself around her and has always been able to get a laugh out of me no matter what mood I am in. She has been there for me through thick and thin and I am so glad to have made a life-long friend out of her.

Mckayla and I also met my Freshman year of college when we both joined Tri-Delta. Actually, Mckayla and I were in the same recruitment group the weeks prior to joining the sorority and we barely spoke, but the day we both joined Tri-Delta we knew no one else and immediately clicked with each other and have been talking almost every single day for the past 6 years! Mckayla is one of the most understanding people I have ever met and I’m so excited to go through this season of life with her because I know she’ll be there for me every step of the way! 

Mckayla

Growing up he’s always been there for me as a brother and a friend. This guy understands love and compassion from a slow and methodical standpoint. As my biological brother, Conner is my best man as I go to the alter for a lifelong commitment.

Conner

Since freshman year of college, Brendan and I really stuck together as friends. This guy understood me and is a good counter to my personality traits. As a good friend of mine, I’m excited to have him be a part of our big day!

Brendan

As Kylie’s biological brother and one of my friends, there's no one better to have stand beside me. This guy shows abundant love and compassion to all he comes in contact with. Also, he is the definition of AAA when it comes to being in the wilderness and needing help!

Cole 

Since meeting in 6th grade and moving to Washington 1 week within each other, we have been bonded as brothers for a long time. This guy has been there for me through highs and lows and I’m excited to have him by my side.

Devin

Ever since meeting Dylan in 2020 and being roommates for 2 years, we have been amazing friends- almost inseparable as Kylie would describe. We do a lot of the same activities which makes it rather easy to constantly hang out together and have a good time!

Dylan

Ever since playing baseball at Cedarville, Micah and I have kept our relationship strong outside of baseball. From living at the White House (in Cedarville) to visiting in Cincinnati, never a dull moment with this guy! Excited to have him there on our big day to be apart of it!

Micah

Ever since working in Endoscopy together, Spencer and I clicked at Mercy West Hospital as friends. This guy is a steady rock and an inspiration of how to live life to the fullest. I enjoy my time with him and am excited to have him there in the ceremony for the big day!

Lebanon is a very charming small town where Kylie grew up. There is a lot of history in the town and it is home to the Lebanon Warriors (and Woody Harrelson.)

Downtown Lebanon
