Our Wedding

If you ask Grant: I had relocated to central Nebraska about 3 years previously, for work. I was starting to get settled into a new house with all the essentials a mid 20 year old guy needs; a shower curtain, chair, TV and a few pieces of farm equipment that ran… sometimes. My mind was firmly planted in my work whether it was design work during the day or beginning to build a small farm every other waking moment.&nbsp;When the plague broke out I can’t say it changed my day to day life much, until the day I got to figure out how to take a cute blonde gal out for a date. In a town with activities ranging from bowling to the movie theater that both were closed, this is where my gears started turning. What sounds like the plot to the newest Netflix series on dates gone wrong, I proposed picking up take out Mexican food and cruising down back roads. I later found out that after she notified her friends, family, the local authorities and SWAT… she agreed to the date! To say I was nervous would be an understatement but as soon as she opened the door with a smile I knew this strange first encounter would be alright. We picked up dinner, I even found a lucky quarter on the ground as I left, chatted as we drove into the sunset, learned about her relocation due to the epidemic, and ended the nights dancing in the headlights.&nbsp;To my surprise the story didn’t end there, she agreed to a second date and a third. I began to learn about the importance of her family, friends, travel abroad and horses. Our time together became more frequent, I met a family that I felt so welcomed into you’d think we were already related. When we started discussing moving in together, I could not have been more excited. At this point Alyssa had seen what my life looked like and wasn’t scared off, that “fully decorated” house has felt more like a home every day. It turns out you can put pillows on the bed that aren’t just for using, plants inside the house, and even things on the walls that aren’t old road signs.&nbsp;Since then, we have been inseparable. If either of us is gone for more than a day it feels like we are missing a piece of ourselves. I can tell you Alyssa is always helping me grow, showing me that focusing on things like relationships with the community around us can be just as important and rewarding as melting steel or turning a wrench. She has become my partner in everything we do, I can’t wait to tell her about every “great” idea I have and where I think we’re headed next and the best part is not only having a cheerleader but having an equal to tell me when I might be stretching a little too thin. I look forward to hearing the days latest updates on the real estate transaction that went way too smooth or the one that went off the rails.&nbsp;I know I’ve found my perfect partner for life and there isn’t a day since that cute blonde gal opened the door with a smile that I haven’t thanked God for that. If you ask Alyssa: The year was 2020, and I had just moved back to Nebraska from North Carolina in the peak of Covid. I was living with Aubrey and Jake at this time, and one of our favorite evening activities was to mirror my dating profile onto the tv and we would go through it all together. The first thing I noticed about Grant’s profile was his smile. Then he hit me with a horrible pick up line, and I was hooked.&nbsp; We had talked for awhile and decided we were ready to set up a real date, but keep in mind, it was prime Covid time. So what are you supposed to do the first time meeting a guy when there is nothing open? We decided to get some San Pedro’s carry out and just drive around back roads. Naturally I had shared my location with ALL my closest friends, letting them know I’d check in frequently. Eventually we found a nice spot to watch the sunset, and ended up dancing in the middle of some old backroad. I could swear it was a fairytale.&nbsp; It all happened really fast from then on. Grant has repeatedly proven to be the man I want by my side in all the good and bad times. From the truck catching on fire to losing our sweet Dixie pup to each of us starting our own businesses and supporting one another through growing them, I truly believe there is no test we can’t make it through together.
