Ethan and Graces journey together began long before they ever imagined the beautiful future that awaited them. Back in the halls of Jack Jouett Middle School, amidst the awkwardness of adolescence and the excitement of Algebra 1, their paths first crossed.
Their lives intersected again 2 years later as they sat next to each other in 9th grade World History. They spent that year becoming friends, sharing notes, and helping each other with homework, all while secretly holding a small crush.
As high school went on and they no longer had classes together, their friendship faded, but their paths never stopped crossing.
The years passed and they grew older, they both ended up attended James Madison University in Fall of 2015. Here they would occasionally take the same bus route to their 8am class. As they would catch up Ethan would walk Grace to her chemistry class, (that she hated.)
A few more years passed with the periodic run-ins around campus, until a crisp fall day in October 2017. They bumped into each other at a football tailgate where Ethan offered Grace a hotdog (which she loves) and gained the courage to ask for her phone number. From then on love grew and has only grown stronger in the years since that college game day.
Now living in Richmond they cant wait to start their lives together and get to celebrate their special day with everyone they cherish.
