Grant and I met when I was a freshman and he was a senior in high school. We never thought we would date because he was older and we honestly just wanted to be friends! He made me laugh all of the time and we both knew that we felt something for each other, but we never thought it would turn into what it is today. So we would text off and on for about a year until we finally got the courage to hang out one day. After that one day, we both immediately knew this was something special and we became best friends and we haven’t stopped being best friends since!

Grant had the sweetest idea when he proposed. He wanted it to be completely his unique idea. So December 16th, I had a work Christmas party that we were both going to! Little did I know I would also get engaged! He took me to a spot in The Village at Cumberland where they put up a huge Christmas tree every year and people stop to take pictures by it. So I thought he just wanted us to have a cute picture by the tree, but he got down on one knee instead and I cried YES! So we still ended up going to where my work party was going to be, but both of our families were there to celebrate! We were seriously showered with love the whole night and it was amazing!!!
