We met at Cal Poly the night before Grace's graduation. Our friend Kiefer had been trying to set us up for a year and Grace finally gave in 24 hours before she left San Luis Obispo. We hit it off and as luck would have it we worked across the street from each other that summer in San Francisco. After dating for a few months, Grace moved back home to Huntington Beach to begin classes for her teaching credential and Pierce went back to Cal Poly for senior year. Fast forward after a few years of long distance and many weekends between Huntington Beach, SLO and San Francisco, and Grace moved to the Bay Area to teach at a school in Menlo Park while Pierce lived and worked in the city. We moved in together in San Francisco in 2016 and lived there for 2 years, enjoying life in the city surrounded by all of our best friends. By 2018 Grace had been accepted to grad school at University of Washington, so we moved to Seattle in August and spent a year there, exploring the Pacific Northwest, getting a dog, and building a great group of friends. After just a year we both got career opportunities in New York City and decided to move, settling in Park Slope, Brooklyn where we've been for two years. We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with friends and family where our relationship started 8 years ago.
