HOW THEY MET: "Grant and Julie met in band class in 7th grade at Rose Hill Junior High. At this time they weren't really friends because Grant made fun of Julie's hairstyle. In 11th grade at Lake Washington High School, they sat by each other in Ms. Terry's chemistry class. They were always laughing and talking with each other. Their friendship lasted throughout the summer before their senior year. During their senior year in high school, they began to go on dates. Their first date was to the Puyallup fair with Julie's younger brother chaperoning of course! After that, they went on several dates, to homecoming, mistletolo and prom. They both graduated in 1995 and went to the University of Washington. During the winter break of their junior year, Grant asked Julie to marry him. The both graduated from UW in 1999 and the rest is history!"

Their engagement was announced on January 01, 1998.

HOW THEY GOT ENGAGED: "On December 29, 1997, Grant sneaked into Julie's house at 3:00am and woke her up. He got down on one knee and popped the question."

Their wedding date is set for July 15, 2000. Their wedding will take place at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Kirkland, WA. Their reception will be held at China Harbor--Lake Union.
