This is the day it all began. We had been friends since mid-7th grade but this semi-formal changed everything. We were "official" at this point, as official as you can be when you are a middle schooler whose parents have to drive them to every date. It was a wonderful evening full of laughter, nerves, and Grace running to her friends for "help" because she was with A BOY!

We spent a lot of time together in middle school doing show choir! Graduated 8th grade and were onto highschool!

Another great semi-formal! This was also the day we slow danced for the first time to Perfect by: Ed Sheeran.

We went to lots of games throughout highschool! Football, basketball, and volleyball it was always a blast.

One of our favorite dates in the beginning was going to see movies together at AMC!

We were enjoying our highschool years as much as we could and then Covid hit and we took our dates to facetime!

After Josh had open heart surgery in April 2021 it was clear breaking it down at prom in May wasn't realistic. We created our very own prom at home got all dressed up and everything, took pictures, candlelight Zianos dinner in the basement, and slow danced in the dark. It was better than any other prom by a landslide.

If you know us at all you know we both LOVE food so getting a bite is always a go to date! :)

We finally graduated highschool! Time to move on to pursue our fields of nursing and cyber security!

We went on a trip back to King's Island for the first time since 8th grade! Thankfully we didn't have to wait in any lines this time because I (Grace) messed my foot up falling off an E-bike!

Such a wonderful wedding! We fell in love with the venue Union 12 on this special day.

May 31st 2025, 11:33 pm. The day we had been talking about forever. It was amazing from spending time with family, seeing a movie, Culver's sunset date, watching the stars, and listening to our songs, it was a perfect evening. Saying yes under the stars in the gazebo so near and dear to my heart was everything I've been dreaming of since 8th grade.

Thank you for looking through our story! We appreciate you so much and are so excited for you to be there on the best day of our lives! We look forward to seeing you! :)

Love, The Future Clarks
