How We Met

Hi, everyone!Thank you so much for visiting our wedding website — we’re so glad you’re here! Grant and I have been together for eight years. We’re three years apart in age and attended the same high school and college, yet somehow never met during those years. Our paths finally crossed at a bowling alley in Atlanta in 2017. Later that year, we ran into each other again at Truist Park through a mutual friend… and the rest is history! Since then, we’ve traveled, adopted two sweet dogs, and made countless memories at weddings, Braves games, concerts, comedy shows, and even Broadway performances (though Grant would probably prefer fewer of those 😂). Of course, we have also endured many of life’s challenges, which have only made our relationship stronger. We can’t wait to celebrate with all the people who have shaped us into who we are. Thank you for being part of our story — and for being in our corner. With love,Ellen &amp; Grant
