We're Getting Married!

Grace and Tristan’s story began in Madison, WI at Badger Brawl in 2022, where a shared love for cattle and the show ring brought them together but just in passing. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into something more, and they stayed in touch long after the show ended. When Tristan asked Grace to be his girlfriend in early 2023, she said yes...with one condition: he had to come to the Illinois Beef Expo to help fit her heifers. He showed up without hesitation. In 2024, back at the Illinois Beef Expo where it all began, Tristan asked Grace to marry him. Today, they travel the country together to cattle shows, supporting one another every step of the way. They look forward to raising their own show cattle and building a life rooted in hard work, family values, and love.
