Grace and Ross’s story began on TikTok, where Grace came across Ross’s videos showcasing his close relationships with family, friends, and his church community. Captivated by the genuine and heartfelt nature of his content, Grace liked several of his posts and decided to follow him. This initial interaction prompted Ross to reach out with a friendly message, sparking a conversation that quickly grew into a meaningful connection.

Their conversations transitioned to frequent FaceTime calls, deepening their bond and allowing them to get to know each other on a more personal level. After several weeks of virtual communication, they arranged to meet in Charleston, a city that became the backdrop for the beginning of their in-person relationship. Their first meeting was a pivotal moment, and it set the stage for their future together.

Over the next eight months, Grace and Ross made the journey between Charlotte and Charleston nearly every weekend, enjoying each other's company and building their relationship. Their shared experiences and time together in these cities solidified their bond. One of the highlights of their time together was a trip to Naples, FL. They visited for family events and vacation, and the beautiful city quickly became their favorite getaway.

The warm, picturesque setting of Naples held a special place in their hearts. Ross decided to mark a significant milestone in their relationship by proposing to Grace. On the day after the Fourth of July, he orchestrated a romantic proposal at sunset, with both of their families present. The moment was both intimate and celebratory, capturing the essence of their

journey and the future they were excited to build together.
