Once upon a time in Norman, Oklahoma, two hearts were destined to meet. It all began when Bianca third-wheeled on a mutual friend’s lunch. From that very first moment, Bianca felt an undeniable connection—and that Grayson had a fantastic fashion-sense—whereas Grayson felt … that Bianca was very nice.

It was not long before Grayson came to his senses and saw something special in Bianca (she can be very persistent). As our friendship grew, we bonded over our love for OU football, country music, Raising Cane’s, High School Musical, and The Bachelor Franchise.

As we spent more time together, our love blossomed through shared adventures—Big 12 Championship games in Dallas, countless events with Grayson’s fraternity, and weekends spent with each other’s families. Each moment, both big and small, brought us closer, and we discovered that our dreams and values aligned in ways we never expected.

In May 2023, Grayson proposed in New York City’s Central Park. We had talked about getting engaged in the summer of 2024 after Grayson graduated law school, but Grayson wanted to make sure the engagement was a surprise (and for those of you who know Grayson, patience is not his strong suit). Bianca was surprised (to say the least) as she blacked out during the proposal—but at least she said yes, and Grayson wrote out his proposal speech to give to Bianca afterward because he knew she would not remember a thing he said. Looking back on it, Bianca should not have been too surprised! A few months before, Grayson had (foolishly and accidentally) left the flyer from the store where he had purchased the engagement ring lying on the bed. Thankfully, the store included a free pair of earrings with the engagement ring, so Grayson covered up his sloppy mistake by giving Bianca the earrings, saying they were a gift for her upcoming graduation.

After the proposal, we went to brunch at Tavern on the Green before going to see Wicked in the afternoon and closing the day with some NYC pizza. The day was the perfect blend of surprise, quality time, and memories that we will always be able to look back on.

Now, nearly seven years later, we could not be more excited to start this new chapter together. From Norman to Washington, D.C. to New York City, we have grown up and grown together! We are thrilled to celebrate our love with all of you and cannot wait to see what the future holds!

Yours truly,

Bianca and Grayson
