Clayton and Grace first met in January 2019 during Mr. Monahan's E period mythology class in high school. Grace took the class to fulfill a credit requirement, while Clayton enrolled out of a genuine passion for the subject. As two of the few upperclassmen in the class, they naturally gravitated toward each other and began sitting together every day.

In April 2019, Grace reached out to Clayton with questions about the homework. Their conversation soon led to Clayton asking Grace on their first date to IHOP in Newington, NH, on April 18, 2019.

Since then, their journey together has been filled with incredible travels around the world! They’ve explored Costa Rica in 2020, Los Angeles in 2021, Quebec and Martha’s Vineyard in 2022, and in 2023, they visited France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany—along with many magical Disney trips along the way.

Their greatest adventure yet came on May 25, 2023, when Clayton proposed to Grace in Disneyland Paris, just after she completed a five-month study abroad program in Italy. They can’t wait to see where life takes them next!
