How It Began
Some love stories begin in the most ordinary places, ours started with on a dating app and a shared love of The Princess Bride. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour and watch it before the big day, because it's woven into the very fabric of how we found each other.
Jess slipped her favourite line into her profile, and Grayson answered with one of his own. From that moment, she knew she wanted to meet the cute, freckled Navy sailor and find out if he was just as charming in person.
He may not think so, but he proved her right on the very first date, showing up not with flowers, but with a 3D printed prop chalice straight out of The Princess Bride! Inside the chalice was a house plant. It was his way of showing he'd been paying attention, and it was entirely, uniquely theirs. She was won over, and the plant continued to grow, just like their love.
What followed has been a story of laughter, playful banter, and the kind of warm, easy love that feels like coming home. Jess brings out the best in Grayson, she challenges him, and he is a better person for it. Grayson keeps Jess grounded when everything feels too much, and always has her laughing.
One day he looked back on everything they had built together and knew, without a doubt, that he needed to make her his forever. He bought the ring many months before he found the perfect moment to use it, but when the moment finally came, it was everything that she dreamed of.
She said yes, and now here we are!
