Our Wedding

Grant and Kristin first met briefly when they were teenagers in 2000 on a double-date... with other people! But that hardly counts, so here is the real story:Oklahoma is a small world. For decades, Grant and Kristin had, unknowingly, shared many mutual friends. Somehow, Grant and Kristin ended up being "friends" on Facebook as well, long before they began dating. Grant had noticed Kristin's witty comments on his friends' posts and asked their mutual friend (and now groomsman) James Grigsby who Kristin was. James, the clever friend that he is, realized that Grant and Kristin were PERFECT for each other, and told Grant he would tell Kristin all about him and set them up on a date. James invited Kristin to lunch to talk about how he had an awesome friend and band mate who was single. He reminded Kristin that they had met once before and told her that Grant had recently noticed her on Facebook and was interested in hanging out sometime. Trusting that James would not set her up with a creep, Kristin agreed to meeting up with Grant sometime.A few weeks passed, and Grant sent Kristin a message on Facebook: "So, James was talking to me about this girl I met when I was younger, and said he thought I would really get along with her. He went to lunch with her and told me that she was intrigued, but then didn't really do much. SO, I decided to reach out on my own. (the girl is you)&lt;awkwardness removed&gt;hi. What's up, Kristin? Would you like to meet sometime for lunch or drinks?"Kristin replied:"Hahaha! Love the intro paragraph. ;) I think that sounds like a great idea."... and they have been together ever since!
