We met in 2020 at Grand Valley State University in Michigan through sorority and fraternity friends. I (Anna) developed a crush on Jace first then Jace slowly came to terms with what was to come. We started dating in January 2021 then a little over a year later in May 2022 added Rudy (our dog) to our lives. Jace and I have made our relationship work through the puppy stage, my nursing school and his full time work schedule. We learned throughout these years that flexibility, love and support makes our relationship strong. In October of 2023, Jace accepted a new job in North Carolina which made our relationship long distance until my graduation. One thing about our relationship is that we always strive to help each other meet future goals. These goals throughout the years have been graduating college, getting a job we are passionate about or moving to eventually make our beach living dreams come true. While making our relationship work with miles between us, Jace proposed on our 3 year anniversary of January 6th, 2024. Following my graduation, I moved down to North Carolina in June 2024 where we have been happily living awaiting to tie the knot. We are excited to have all our family & friends gather to celebrate the start of our marriage and blessed life.
