Grant and Emily met the first couple days of college, although they can never agree on which day it actually was. Here are their versions of their story which they did not reveal to each other until putting onto the website: Grant's Version: Emily and I met in our freshman year of college. We lived on the same floor and met during our orientation meeting August 19, 2017. I sat next to her because I thought she was cute and she asked me to kill a bug for her which I refused since I am a man of nature. For some reason I knew she was going to be important and a big part of my life I just didn't know how at that time. From that point on we were friends for a long time and over the years my love for her grew. We liked to play tennis together, board games, and shared the same friend group. We started dating on August 22nd, 2020 and moved in together the next year. We got engaged July 12th, 2023 and have been wedding planning ever since. Emily's Version: Grant and I met because we lived on the same floor of Whitney Hall, at Chico State. I am totally convinced it was the first day of school, because it was at a safety orientation meeting (August 17th, also his Birthday!). Anyhow, we sat next to each other and I asked him to kill a bug that was crawling towards me, to which he quickly said no because he was "a man of nature!" Needless to say I was immediately intrigued and that kicked off the start of our friendship. We were in the same friend group, would play each other in ping pong and tennis, and go to the library together. We started dating August 22nd of our senior year and pushed each other through each of our teaching credential programs. When I finally convinced Grant to let us get a cat I knew we were in it for the long haul. I was truly shocked when he proposed on our backpacking trip through Europe after graduation, but couldn't have been any happier. See you all the wedding!!!
