How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage

Grace and Jack met in pre-calculus class their junior year of high school. Grace was attracted to Jack's contagious laughter and kindness. Jack loved Grace's smile and bubbly personality. Jack soon took interest in Grace and asked her on a date to play pickleball. Despite getting beat 21-0, Grace still wanted to go on a second date with Jack. Several dates later, on November 26th, 2022, Jack asked Grace to be his girlfriend!

The Proposal

December 24th, 2024

On Christmas Eve 2024, Grace was in the Upper Peninsula visiting family. Jack drove up to the UP to surprise her at her Aunt Angie's house. Jack was hiding when Grace arrived and then walked out with a dozen roses! Grace was so surprised but didn't quite understand what was happening. Grace thought Jack had just driven up to surprise her for Christmas. After pulling away from a hug, Jack got down on one knee and popped the question! And of course Grace said yes! They spent the rest of the day celebrating with family.
