Grayson and Kassidy first met in seventh grade homeroom. In 9th grade, Kassidy made the right decision to quit field hockey and join the cross-country team. Throughout the year, he began to develop feelings for this much taller girl. This all culminated with the summer pool party devised to win her attention. It went well, and led to a homecoming date and blossoming relationship.

They continued to date throughout high school, and then it was time to embark on the college journey. Kassidy went to Longwood, while Grayson went to George Mason. The schools are over 3 hours apart (but only 2hr 40 minutes at 6am). Navigating a long-distance relationship with two incredibly busy schedules was certainly not easy. They made it through many late night Google Meet (FaceTime for iOS lames) calls and long drives to each other.

On spring breaks, their schedules could only align for a single weekend. Grayson decided to book a cabin in the mountains for this weekend. This became an annual tradition, providing a much needed break from the chaos of the year. On March 9th, 2024, on the third iteration of this trip, Grayson popped the big question. They are so happy and cannot wait to continue making memories forever.
