Grace and Adam’s journey began in 2020 when they met in Tampa, FL, and quickly became close friends. After Grace moved to the area, she connected with a local friend group that eventually introduced her to Adam. Over time, their friendship grew stronger, and they found themselves connecting beyond the friend group.

As friends do, Adam offered to watch Grace’s Pomeranian, Leo—a task that’s no small feat. Grace, usually relying on trusted Rover sitters, took a chance on Adam before heading out on a family vacation to South Florida.

Several photos from their "boys' day" together—complete with new toys and a golf-watching session—left Grace confident that Leo had given his stamp of approval. And as it turned out, so did Grace’s family and friends. In the months that followed, Grace focused on buying a property, but Adam continued to show up in her life with two key contributions: a Costco membership and impressive Chick-fil-A rewards status. He offered his help with endless home improvement projects, fueled by chicken minis. It wasn’t long before they became inseparable, officially starting to date a few months later.

Since then, the couple has traveled together to Spain, Portugal, Italy, and St. Lucia. They've attended 11 weddings together. They enjoy cooking, golfing, skiing/snowboarding, wine tasting, being in the ocean and creating countless memories with friends, family, and Leo. In November 2024, Adam asked Grace to be his forever. They’re planning a small family wedding in Oahu, Hawaii, followed by their honeymoon in Maui and Kauai in April of 2026.
