How We Met

September 2014

Grant and Erin met during their sophomore year in college while they were student government senators. Grant soon asked for Erin's phone number, and after a few weeks of flirting, Grant asked Erin to go to dinner after senate. Although Erin thought it was going to be with a group, she agreed to join Grant. After dinner, Grant reached for her hand as they walked through Old Main lawn, and the two of them sat on a bench. In the crisp autumn air, Grant and Erin chatted on the bench for what seemed like hours as they began to fall in love.

The Proposal

November 10, 2017

After three years and many adventures together, Grant proposed to Erin on November 10, 2017. Even though Grant had let it slip that he already had the ring, Erin was confident that he would not propose until December. Instead, Grant took her to Hammondtrees, where they went on their first date. After dinner, Grant nervously suggested that they go on a walk up to Old Main. Although Erin was suspicious, she attributed Grant's behaviour to his typical weird stunts. As they walked through the path on Old Main lawn, Grant listed many of the memories that the two had made together. Soon, Erin began to notice an illuminated bench in the distance and as they approached the bench, music began to play as Grant got on one knee. Grant anxiously said that Erin was the best life-partner he could ever hope for, and asked Erin to marry him. After Erin cheerfully said "yes, of course!" and as tears began to stream down her face, Grant popped open a bottle of champagne in celebration.
