Grant and Montana had plenty of chances to meet on their journey through life. Living just two doors down from Grant's Grandparents, all Montana would have had to do is put down her book and go outside to play with the Texas kids visiting the neighborhood. As that didn't happen, they met much later. Thankfully for them, Montana met her best friend Leah in high school, and she just so happened to be related to those Texas kids. One fateful day in the fall of 2015, Leah invited Montana to go over to her Grandparents for a family dinner. As they were leaving Montana's home, our bride realized that they would not be traveling far for this event. This is where our bride and groom first meet. As the years went on, Grant and his family moved back to Joplin. Growing as friends for years, first they were there for each other and then they were just... there. It was as if Grant and Montana had always been a matching set. Montana loves that Grant pushes her to try new things - whether that is cuisines, experiences, or just movies she really already should have seen. Grant loves that Montana grounds him, helping him to focus on what is important in life while still adding in the things that make life fun. As their nuptials loom, our bride and groom are most excited to continue adventuring and trying new things together.
