How We Met

Salt Lake City, October 2017

As told by Natalie - I met Grant's friend, Adam, my first weekend in Salt Lake City. Once we both realized we were from the Midwest, it was decided we should be friends! I was then invited to one of their Thursday night "Family Dinners". Meanwhile, Adam was asking me if he could set me up with someone, and I laughed it off. Despite him talking up his "wonderful friends and handsome coworkers", I did not buy that he could pick someone for me that I would hit it off with. Adam asked me what my type is in men and I said "big, fun, and hairy guys"... enter Grant. Grant and I met at dinner that Thursday night and he ignored me the entire time. It wasn't until that following weekend, that a bunch of us spent in Park City, that Grant and I finally got the chance to spend time together. After a shot or two, or five, Grant and I explored together, laughed together, deleted our Tinder accounts, and the rest is history. As told by Grant - It was October of 2017 when my friend Adam mentioned he had met someone that seemed like a great fit for me. Being the skeptic that I am, I quickly dismissed the thought of being set up with someone I had never met. Adam arranged for a group dinner in which Natalie would be attending and we could meet. I showed up to this Thursday night dinner, where I introduced myself to Natalie, and promptly ignored her the rest of the night because I didn't believe in being set up. Somehow, I was lucky enough to get a second chance with my soon to be bride. Two days later, we were heading to Park City's annual "World's Longest Shot Ski" and Natalie was also coming along. After meeting up with our friends and taking the shot, I began to talk with Natalie, when I quickly realized how right Adam was, she was perfect. We talked about growing up in the Midwest, our love for football, and how dating was stupid. We promptly deleted each other's dating apps, because there wasn't anyone deemed good enough for Natalie or myself. The rest is history.
