Grayson and Laura met in 2015 on a youth group trip through their church called Southgate. They were acquaintances since 2018. In 2018 Laura’s friend group started to open up to others which Grayson became a main role in the group. Through all their years of being friends they never had feelings for each until Laura started to develop feelings for Grayson in 2023. Grayson just saw Laura as a friend until January of 2024. They went on their first date on February 22, 2024 where Grayson asked Laura to be his girlfriend on a bench overlooking Kirkwood. The Lord has been all throughout our story with such a sense of peace. Grayson then asked Laura on June 12, 2025 to be his wife at his parents home surrounded by family.
