How we met

First comes school, then comes campus ministry, then comes friendship, then comes finally dating

Trey and Grace "met" during Grace's first time at her now campus ministry, Chi Alpha. Trey was singing on worship team, and immediately Grace was in awe of his voice and couldn't for the life of her get over his talent. Immediately after service was done, she turned to the girl that invited her and asked her who he was. That night when she got home, she immediately followed him on Instagram and was completely shocked he followed her back. And that was it. Nothing really else happened for the next year between the two as it was the end of Grace's freshman year when they first "found" each other, and she was moving back home for the summer. Coming into now her sophomore year of college Grace got deeply connected into Chi Alpha, finding new passions, new friends, and even got the opportunity to go on a mission's trip to the Netherlands. Conveniently enough, two people on her team were some of Trey's best friends and within a couple weeks grace was hanging out with Trey's friends and Trey started showing up. And in no time, the connecting friends between Grace and Trey started spurring up talk about the two "talking" and being more than just friends. And to say the least, Grace wanted nothing to do with dating Trey, she was the most adamant that they were just friends and nothing else. Fast forward a year from then, the friends graduated and moved on from UNI and what was left of the group that would hang out was Trey and Grace, but not much happened between the two. But as fate would have it, once Grace joined the worship team, the two started seeing each other again, as friends, just as they had the year prior, and before Grace knew it, she found herself smitten, head over heels in love with the boy on worship team she was once in of awe the very first Chi Alpha service she had attended. Grace and Trey quickly fell in love and with only 4 months of dating, Trey proposed and of course she said yes! They are more than happy and excited to take on this new journey of marriage together!
