Grant and I had been friends already when we went on a mission trip to Uruguay in 2011. By the time we returned, we were already exchanging "I love yous," frequently spending time together, and connecting on a spiritual and emotional level. Neither of us were looking for a relationship at that time, but we had both found a deep connection with each other that it seemed unfair to not give a shot. Nearly 11 years later, and we are finally getting married! We have wanted to marry for so long, and I am so thankful for it all coming together now. We have truly needed a moment to celebrate our love and accomplishments. We are happy to ring in a new year with our beloveds. There is so much to be grateful for, and we anticipate that the day will pass quickly - so let's prepare to soak it all in together. I will cherish my love forever. So, thank you for being there for us and supporting our growth.
