Our Wedding

Bryce and Stella have known each other for the past two decades. They met in third grade and quickly became friends. They had at least one class together thereafter until senior year in high school. They hung out as friends until they started dating on December 21st, 2020. Their favorite hobby is traveling and seeing new places. They have traveled to 5 countries (Canada, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, and the Dominican Republic) and to over 13 states together. After Bryce proposed to Stella in her dream place- Disney World, they knew they wanted to do a destination wedding because of their passion for traveling. Hopefully, you can join them in celebrating their special day!
