Our story began in Austin the summer of 2017 thanks to a mutual friend. If you ask either of us about our first few run-ins, the breakdown went something like this:

July 29, 2017

How It Started

We met briefly at our mutual friend’s house. We barely talked, other than connecting over the fact that Grant had lived in Dallas for a bit (Miranda’s hometown).

May 19, 2018

Round two happened after the bars at Grant’s mom’s house with friends. Miranda’s main takeaway: Her house has amazing, quirky decor. Grant’s main takeaway: That girl needs a glass of water ASAP.

June 23, 2018

Grant’s 23rd birthday pool party. Miranda met Grant’s parents for the first time while in a bikini, immediately exploding a bottle of club soda all over the floor in the house. Grant’s sweet mom assured her, “Don’t worry, you just made a clean spot!”

The Turning Point

Fourth of July weekend in 2018 changed everything. Miranda ended up as the solo girl in a College Station house full of guys for the weekend (fun fact: every single one of those guys is in our wedding party!). That was the weekend we really hit it off. We talked for hours and felt like we’d known each other for years.

September 15, 2018

By September, we were officially dating. Since we were hanging out every single day anyway, we decided to move in together right away. A red flag? Maybe... but hey, it clearly worked out for us. By December, we welcomed our tiny 8-week-old kitten, Pluto, who joined Miranda’s cat Cinder to complete our immediate little family.

Building a Life Together

Through multiple apartments, career moves, COVID, and all of life’s highs and lows, we continued building our life side-by-side. In May 2023, we put down deeper roots by moving into our home in the Oak Hill area of Austin.

April 11, 2026

The Proposal

After nearly eight years of shared adventures, Grant pulled off the ultimate surprise on April 11, 2026. Right after sunset in Honolulu, Hawaii, high up on a rooftop overlooking the entire lit-up city, Grant asked Miranda to spend forever with him. Making the moment even more special, Grant’s brother, Miranda’s sister, and a close friend were all right there to celebrate the magic alongside us!

Where We Are Today

Through all the years, we have remained absolute best friends. Whether we’re enjoying slow days at home binging movies with Pluto, catching live EDM shows, or hosting late-night laughs with our incredible squad of friends, we are happiest when we're together. Because being out on the water on Lake Travis is one of our absolute favorite feelings, choosing a wedding venue along the lake was a complete no-brainer. We love our life in Austin, look forward to starting a family, and can't wait to celebrate the start of our next chapter surrounded by all the people we love most!

For all the days along the way
