We met when our parents started hanging out with each other when we were in 7th grade. We started dating in 8th grade for some time before we went our separate ways right before our freshman year of high school. Four years later, a few months after we graduated high school we reconnected and the rest is history!

Gracie had set up a date and time to do maternity pictures with their friend, Shelbie. But, little did she know, Braden had been in contact with Shelbie to plan a surprise for Gracie in the weeks following up to the photo session. When Shelbie told Gracie they were going to do a picture where Braden hugged her from behind she didn't think anything of it. Then Shelbie told Gracie to turn around and Braden was down on one knee asking her to marry him and obviously she said yes!
