Reception

Our Wedding

We met each other for the first time in the fall of 2019. We were both in Chemical Engineering at the University of South Carolina, starting out our freshman year. Walking the same route from Computer Science to Vector Calculus multiple days a week, we quickly realized our identical schedules that fall semester. Over time we grew to realize our backgrounds were very similar and that we had a lot in common. Walks to class eventually turned into study dates at the T Coop library or grabbing coffee at Russell House to get to know each other more. From the moment we met, we instantly hit it off, gradually becoming best friends before dating. We started dating in August 2021 and have been inseparable ever since. Upon graduating in 2023, Aidan moved to Charleston to begin training as a Nuclear Submarine Officer with the Navy, while Grace moved home to Cincinnati with her parents to start work as a Process Engineer. The past two years have been full of many long weekends, work-from-home trips to Charleston and now Fernandina Beach, where Aidan currently resides. We are very goofy together, always smiling, laughing, and having a good time since our moments together in person are precious. Our favorite moments together are intimate, relaxed settings where we can just be with one another and reconnect, whether it is a picnic date down the street at the beach or grabbing a drink and listening to live music at the local dive bar. In June of 2024, Aidan made the trip up to Cincinnati to propose. This past year has been a year of patience and prayers, waiting for the perfect time to plan our wedding. We are so blessed that we are finally able to tie the knot this March 2026 with the people who have loved and supported us every step of the way. Whether you are able to make the trip and celebrate with us in person or not, we sincerely appreciate you and could not be where we are today without you. Cheers!
