On May 12, 2023, Grant slid into my Bumble messages—not with a cheesy pickup line or some forced attempt at being funny, but with pure sincerity. From that very first message, I knew he was different. He wasn’t trying to impress me with cleverness; he was just being himself. And that was more impressive than any one-liner ever could be!

For our first date, Grant chose Written by the Seasons in Bishop Arts, and from the moment we sat down, I could tell he was special. His kindness, his easygoing nature, and his deep love for his family all stood out right away. Also, my love language is food, so the fact that we shared everything we ordered that night instantly made me feel at home. As for Grant? He swears it was love at first sight (even though I had zero idea at the time—he played it cool way too well in those early weeks).

But eventually, the cool act faded, and before we knew it, we were officially us. From then on, life became a mix of concerts, cooking experiments, popcorn & coke movie nights, and long walks filled with deep conversations. We fell in love over the simple things—our shared vision for the future, our love for family and friends, and the way we just fit. Grant became my rock, always grounding me, while he says he loves the energy and enthusiasm I bring to our little world.

Then came the most unforgettable moment of all—a surprise proposal in WaterColor, FL, with both of our families there to celebrate. It was pure magic, and a memory we’ll cherish forever.

Now, we can’t wait to make it official and celebrate with all the people we love most! 🎉
