It started with a message. Reno and Grace met each other on a Christian Dating site in June of 2024. After taking the time exploring their biblical convictions and vision for marriage, their first date was set in Pittsburgh, and there it all began. Dates and long conversations led to more as they got to know each other, traveling around southwestern Pennsylvania and Maryland. Some of their favorite dates were spending time at city and state parks, seeing Handel's Messiah at Heinz Hall, and visiting bookstores. Eventually, they fell in love, and they felt the same way about moving forward with marriage :) Now, ten thousand words and many dates later, they’re taking the next step! Reno loves Grace's gentle spirit, warm and affectionate personality, and the strength she has to stand by her convictions. And Grace loves Reno's gentle and firm temperament, his sense of humor and contagious laugh, and his leadership and care for her, just to name a few!
