Our Wedding

Registry

Us pictured the first summer we dated - August 2019 We met in 2019 when Josh was going Grand Valley and Grace was graduating Rockford High School. Spending time with friends at GVSU gave Grace a good excuse to also go on dates with Josh. After that spring, Grace joined Josh as a student at GVSU and spent the next 4 years being neighbors and creating what they would call the best friend group around. Between Summer Boatwerks Dates, days in Glen Arbor, and Pickleball matches, we are always on the go and trying out new dates and hobbies. Both considering each other "the worlds most social people" keeps us busy with friends and family, but also keeps us together. We love to be surrounded by each other and all the people we love, all the time. We can't wait for the biggest party with all the people we love the most! xo Josh &amp; Grace
