Ethan started a Young Adult group at church in August and Grace just so happened to be invited (thank you Deanna!) in September. Ethan and Grace met for the first time at a group outing on September 22nd 2024. They got along well very quickly and their friendship was born. They got to know each other more every week at group, sharing stories and struggles from the week before. It only took Ethan to build up the courage to ask Grace out on a date 5 months later in February. They became official April 13th 2025 and fell in love with each other more and more every day since. Ethan proposed on February 13th 2026 while in Charleston SC for Valentine’s Day. And here we are, looking forward to November 13th to become one!
