Story
Our first meeting happened in a restaurant called The Firebird. It was a simple, yet effective date where both Grant and Sarah were inspired by the other's heartwarming display of compassion. At the end of the date, Sarah waited with Grant at the bus stop and then made him promise to text her when he got home safely. After coming home, Grant called Sarah and serenaded her with a rendition of "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd.
Shortly after that, Grant and Sarah had a FaceTime chat which lasted for 8 hours! Time magically flew by as they conversed with each other about a wide variety of topics. That was another indication that both Grant and Sarah were meant for each other: they could talk and talk and talk together, still wanting to spend more time.
The two of them felt a special connection that would only grow stronger as time went on, leading to their special day together.
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
Grant and Sarah originally met on Mutual, a dating app for LDS members. They had actually matched three years before, but lost contact and then found each other again after Sarah finished grad school.
Who made the first move? How?
Depends on who you ask:
Grant thinks he made the first move when he texted Sarah on Mutual and planned their first date.
Sarah thinks she made the first move when she kissed him, and asked him to be her boyfriend.
Who's going to take out the trash?
Whoever happens to be closer to the trash :)
What was your most memorable date?
Just one? There are far too many memorable dates to think of. One memorable date for both Grant and Sarah was their second date, involving ice cream and books.
After eating ice cream, they went across the street to Barnes and Noble and talked about their favorite books. It led to a wonderful discussion about classical literature. It also led to them reading "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen together.
What's your favorite activity together?
Grant and Sarah can do just about anything together and have that activity be awesome!
They enjoy attending plays, musicals, opera, and ballets together. They also enjoy nights in, playing games and watching movies.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
On a splendid cruise from California to Mexico.
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
It would be difficult to pick out just one "best meal" but one special dinner would be the time when Grant and Sarah made tacos together during Christmas Eve. "Christmas tacos" are something Grant and Sarah plan on turning into their new family tradition.
