Grace Caroline and Chandler’s story began on August 22, 2017, the second day of their freshman year of college. While waiting to meet up with a mutual friend in the lobby of Adams Hall at Georgia College, their paths crossed. That same night, among a group of new and old friends, GC and Chandler felt an immediate connection. They talked for hours while experiencing their first night out in downtown Milledgeville, a tradition that would become a cherished part of their college years. What started as a friendship quickly blossomed, and by the end of October 2017, Grace Caroline and Chandler were officially a couple. From shared classes and sorority date nights to concerts, vacations, baseball games, and countless nights out, they were inseparable throughout college. They even adopted their cats, Stella and Dilly, together in 2019. Over time, it became clear to each other, and to everyone around them, that they were soulmates. After they graduated in May of 2021, Chandler stayed at Georgia College to complete his Master’s of Accountancy, and the pair took the next step by moving in together. Along the way, their shared love of travel led them to explore many incredible places, including various Florida beaches (with Destin being a favorite), Hilton Head, Savannah, Mexico (each other's first-ever flight!) the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Colorado, Tennessee, and even the Philippines. These adventures have become a special part of their story, creating memories that will last a lifetime. On October 27, 2024, after seven years together, Chandler proposed on a rooftop in Las Vegas, marking the beginning of the next chapter of their story.
