Our Wedding

Our love story began in the Hilliard Darby Band room. As all good high school romances start, we were friends first. Being in the same friend group brought us closer to each other every single day. After being best friends for a couple years we decided to date each other. Our first date was at the Hilliard Movies 10 on July 6th, 2012. We saw the movie Ted &amp; the rest is history.After graduating high school, we both made the move down to Cincinnati to attend the University of Cincinnati for undergrad. Grant got his degree in Architecture &amp; Jade went for Public Relations &amp; Communication. We built beautiful friendships &amp; a life for ourselves in Cincinnati that we hold very dear to our hearts.&nbsp;Over our 9 years of dating we have discovered our mutual love of trying new food spots, vinyl record hunting, playing board games with friends, watching films &amp; sipping coffee. We love to experience life together &amp; grow together as a couple everyday.&nbsp;On our trip to Maui, Grant popped the question to Jade overlooking the beautiful blue ocean on New Year’s Eve. We can’t wait to finally get married &amp; spend the rest of our lives together. As Grant’s Grandma Mary Jo said, “It’s a bit overdue!”&nbsp;

Things to Do

Maids of Honor

Bailey and Jade met in the University of Cincinnati Women's Chorus in 2016. They sat next to each other in rehearsals and Jade insisted on convincing Bailey to go on tour to DC that Spring Break. Since that moment, they have become Best Friends. From Zumba classes, to drafts & brackets, to late nights at the Mockbee or in the car to Louisville listening to the 18 hour Road Trip Playlist, they are always on some type of adventure. Jade is so happy to have Bailey by her side as her Maid of Honor.

Bailey Kitchen

Devon and Jade have known each other for over twelve years. They first met freshmen year at Darby High School in Marching Band. They sat next to each other every day  on the way to school and always came prepared with breakfast sandwiches in hand.  Jade and Devon have bonded over their love of theatre, film and music. One of Jade's favorite memories with Devon is when they wrote and planned a Murder Mystery Party together. Devon is one of the kindest and silliest people to be around and when she and Jade get together they never miss a beat. Jade is so thrilled to have her Best Friend as her Maid of Honor.

Devon Mushalko

Bridesmaids

Jessica is Jade's future Sister-In-Law! Over the past 9 years, Jade has become a part of the Wagner family and was welcomed in with open arms. There's nothing that Jessica and Jade love more than a good puzzle and a cup of coffee. Grant and Jade are so excited to have Jessica as a part of their special day.

Jessica Wagner

Devin and Jade were introduced to each other through Devin's husband (then boyfriend) Adam. They instantly hit it off and from that moment Jade knew she had a friend for life. From late night college parties in Jade's apartment to game nights and brunches, Jade has shared so many of her best memories with Devin.

Devin Greivenkamp

Anissa is Jade’s cousin. When Anissa was a baby, Jade remembers holding her at a family wiener roast and thinking she was the coolest baby ever. Over the years they have bonded over books, food and many fun moments at the beach. Jade is so happy to have Anissa as her bridesmaid.

Best Man

Mason and Grant met in their first year at UC when they were randomly assigned as roommates (oh my god, they were roommates)! From then on, they bonded over shared interests and remained roommates through Grant's undergrad, and have been best friends ever since. Mason has been an important part of Grant and Jade's life for longer than almost anyone else.

Mason Urban

Groomsmen

Grant met Chris through Mason, because they were in the same program at UC. Separately, Jade met Chris through UC Choruses. Through this, Chris has always been a core member of our closest group of friends. Over the years they have made many memories over playing board games, eating loads of Maggiano's and going to Westside Brewery.

Chris Wilson

Colin is Grant's brother. They met when Colin was born.

Colin Wagner

Adam and Jade met at UC while in the UC Choruses, and started hanging out with Grant soon after. He and bridesmaid Devin married two summers ago and have been great sources for us for the wedding, and great friends through the years.

Adam Greivenkamp

Remington and Jade are Cousins and Best Friends. Remington is the closest that Jade has ever had to having a sibling and he means so much to her. Grant and Remington have gotten to know each other over the years and have bonded over board games and provolone cheese.
