In the fall of 2021, Mallory and Bryce crossed paths at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio when Bryce was randomly placed in the co-ed bible study group that Mallory had been a part of for just over a year. Initially forming a deep friendship rooted in their shared faith, they quickly discovered a mutual love for travel, music, and photography.

Their weekends were often filled with outdoor adventures and spontaneous hangouts with others from the group, solidifying the foundation of their connection. It didn’t take long for the two of them (along with many close to them) to realize that their connection extended well beyond friendship alone. Their romantic relationship had a memorable start when as the ball dropped, ringing in 2022, Bryce kissed Mallory for the first time. It was a spontaneous moment of connection that set the tone for all the adventures and love that was yet to come, and they started officially dating shortly after.

In the fall of 2023, after nearly two years of dating, Bryce proposed in front of the Roebling Bridge (Mallory’s favorite Cincinnati icon), and Mallory said yes without any hesitation! Their engagement marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with shared dreams and everyday moments, proving that sometimes, the best stories start with a simple "hello" in unexpected places.

Now, in the summer of 2024, they are beyond excited to celebrate the start of their marriage alongside cherished family & friends!
