We met during our junior year at Germantown High School but Mere, not surprisingly, doesn't remember this. We met again the second day of senior year during first period study hall. During our first conversation, Greg invited Mere to the gym that evening for "bring a friend day", after which he politely declined some chocolate milk Mere brought for him which hurt, but only slightly less than her muscles the next day. We started dating one month later on August 30, 2016 (Greg asked Mere to officially be his girlfriend after a GHS football game). Senior year was a blast, but we decided to go to different colleges and try the long distance thing, knowing we would have different college experiences and wanting to do what was best for the long-term future. While it was hard sometimes, we grew and changed and fell in love all over again during this time. Greg made the 5 hour drive about once a month while Mere was in college at Mckendree University, which is about 30 minutes from St. Louis. During these weekend adventures, we explored the city and what it had to offer, specifically through food. Mere finished her undergraduate degree at the height of Covid and moved back home to Memphis. During this time we continued to go on weekend food adventures in Memphis and workout together at Silver Bull Fitness. In March of 2022, we bought a house in East Memphis and have loved getting to know each other even better. Greg proposed on his 23rd birthday, Saturday, September 24, 2022, at Rock'n Dough in Germantown in front of the whole family. We are so excited to celebrate our story and share our love with everyone through this experience!
