Our story began in Phoenix, Arizona at Grand Canyon University when we were introduced by mutual friends. We played on an intramural volleyball team, and although we have differing opinions of who the better player is, we both found out we were equally competitive. Throughout the first semester, we lost touch, until another beach volleyball opportunity came about. We began chatting during our game and instantly clicked while bonding over discussions about GCU basketball, as he was a student manager on the team. After many late night lifts and hanging out by the pool, Jonah decided to ask Kass to be his girlfriend the night before we both went home from school. And after many months of long distance, meeting lots of family, taking multiple long road trips, and lots of GCU basketball games, Jonah proposed to Kass on December 16, 2023.
