Most people would describe Lydia and Scott as extremely intentional and methodical in their approach to life, so it should be no surprise that an algorithm on a dating app brought them together. However, their first date set a slightly different tone: a sunny day filled with deep conversations, glasses of champagne and a bouquet of spring lilies. Something was blossoming, and one date quickly became two, and then ten, and before they knew it, a whole summer flew by. Despite an initial desire to lead with logic, they discovered something so much greater: a shared heritage, quest for knowledge, respect for family, and vision for the future. This mutual alignment would lead them to take on new challenges, move across state lines, visit foreign lands, and even raise an energetic puppy together. Without complicating things too much—life together just worked. And then came the blending of the families—two hard-working, empathetic Jamaican households—two sides of the same coin. For over four years, they were always met with open arms, kind words, and offered a safe place to land. This family, extended by their close friends, continue to surround them in their love and guidance. Please join Lydia and Scott in not only celebrating their love, but the beautiful intersection of past, present, and future—a testament to seeds planted generations ago and the brilliant tomorrow they will continue to nurture. Next stop: Montego Bay! Sincerely, The Grants
