We're getting married!!

They say you often find love when you’re not even looking—and that couldn’t be more true for Grace and Owen. What started as a simple night hanging out with friends, for Grace, quickly turned into something neither of them would ever forget. From the moment they met, as Owen had sparked up the conversation with a pretty girl, it was love at first sight. Grace was drawn to Owen’s loving nature, curiosity, and nonstop talkative charm (something that still hasn’t changed!). What started as a casual conversation, quickly became the highlight of Owen's night. He couldn’t help but notice how easy it was to talk to Grace, and how her smile made him want to keep the conversation going as long as possible. It didn’t take long for Grace to realize there was something special about him, and soon enough, she found out Owen felt the exact same way. The two spent their early days finding any excuse to spend more time together. Finally, they both built up the guts to ask their parents to drive them to their first offical date together, as they were only 15 years old at the time. So on July 11, after a night of bowling and air hockey at Bowlocity, their story began. Over the next three and a half years, their relationship grew, as so did they, turning into something even more meaningful—built on friendship and lasting memories, creating a stronger bond. Through it all, Owen continued to fall more in love with Grace’s support during his high school sports career, her radiating kindness, and her ability to constantly make him laugh. At the same time, Grace continued to fall into his compassionate love and the way he always made her feel at home. Then, on a trip to Rome, Italy, Owen asked Grace to spend forever with him, proposing on a gorgeous rooftop with a great view of one of the seven wonders of the world, the Colosseum! It was a moment straight out of a dream, and the perfect next chapter in their story.
