Aaron and Grace met in Chattanooga during 2018 while Aaron finished his MBA and Grace finished her Junior year at UTC. The two started working at Bellhops, a start-up moving company, within several weeks of each other. One Sunday, in the office kitchen, Grace decided to break the ice by offering to wash Aaron's dishes. The first conversation came easily, as did every conversation after that. They hung out at all the local Chattanooga spots whenever they didn't have class or work. They would always grab tickets to see Three Star Revival when they would come to town and dance to all of their favorite songs. On May 28th, the two made their relationship official, and by July 4th, they knew they were in love. Over the first 6 months of their relationship, Aaron kept saying he wanted an Australian Shepherd. One night, Grace casually browsed puppies online and came across the sassiest looking Aussie pup. She showed Aaron, and it was love at first sight. The two drove to Pigeon Forge and picked up the little fluff ball, Boots. They added "Obi" to the beginning of his name, and two became three! In February of 2019, Aaron was offered a promotion at Bellhops in Atlanta. With Grace finishing her senior year online, they packed their things and moved to Georgia. It didn't take long to realize Tennessee really was the greatest state in the U.S., so Grace decided to attend law school at Belmont in Nashville. Once again, the gang packed up their things and headed to Aaron's hometown, Joelton. Several job changes, a pandemic, and a few years of law school later, the two had been through a LOT! Needless to say, things were not always perfect. There was a lot of growth and change over the next two years, but the one constant was their love for each other. Just as Grace was to begin her final year of law school, the biggest changes of all happened. In August of 2021, while celebrating another couple's engagement in Chattanooga, Aaron was adamant the two have a breakfast date. After nibbling on pastries, they went for a stroll through the Art District. Out of nowhere, they heard a dog barking - a dog that sounded just like Obi Boots. Obi was supposed to be boarded, but it turns out, he was checked out by friends to be a part of the special moment! Aaron walked Grace down a path lined with flowers and pictures of their favorite memories to meet Obi. He gave a grand speech, got down on one knee, and proposed. Grace said "yes" before he ever even got to the speech (Obi's bandana said "will you marry my dad?"). They went on to celebrate with some of their best friends afterwards! Around that same time, the two found out they would be having a baby. Both the scariest and most exciting news they had ever gotten, they decided to put wedding planning off to enjoy this season of life. On March 21, 2022, they welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Lucy Grace Burnett, to their world. She is smart, sweet, and sassy, and will be the perfect flower girl. Now, they are counting down to their long-awaited wedding day. They are eager for their family and friends to witness their vows and celebrate their love on their fifth dating anniversary in Grace's hometown. Aaron and Grace are so excited for this next chapter together.
