For Hailey, it was a normal day at the Cleveland Clinic where she was working as a nurse for the past year. For Grant, it was his first day at the Cleveland Clinic where he was a new nurse working on the same floor, but only to find Hailey as his preceptor for the day. The two hit it off right away. After months of being "just friends" Hailey and Grant became extremely close. After long 12 hour shifts, the two would grab dinner together where they could sit and talk for hours. Even when they weren't together, they were exchanging texts or spending their free time on the phone with each other. One day at work, Grant expressed his need to go back to his hometown to get a few things. Hailey offered to go along for the ride so Grant didn't have to go alone and without hesitation Grant said "yes". When Grant told his mom he was bringing a girl home, her first question was "is this your girlfriend" and quickly Grant responded, "no, she is just a friend". Little did they know their first trip to Michigan would not be their last. A week later Grant was going to Hawaii on a family trip and Hailey was heading back to Buffalo for the Easter holiday. Once again, the two could not stop talking. Grant's family was wondering where Grant would mysteriously disappear to. Come to find out he was faking stomach aches to go back to his room to FaceTime Hailey. It was time for Grant to come home and Hailey left Buffalo with some of her favorite hometown foods (Mighty Taco and a stinger sub to be exact) to bring back to Cleveland for the boy that was "just a friend". People would not believe us, but up until this point the two had not shared a single kiss. That would soon change. Going from seeing each other almost everyday for the past 2 months to Grant being gone for over a week, it was evident that when the two reunited, they missed each other. They caught up on life like they always did, but something felt different. This would be the night that the two shared their first kiss. The rest would turn into history. Fast forward several months, the two were stronger than ever and Grant received an opportunity to work at Johns Hopkins Hospital in their surgical intensive care unit. The two knew how important this opportunity was for Grant and Hailey decided to take the leap with him. They packed up their lives in Cleveland and moved to Baltimore. The couple only had each other and that experience made them closer than ever. It was through their move when the two realized that this could be forever. A few months in, Grant got the opportunity to move back to Cleveland to work in one of the most acute intensive care units in the country. Hailey was happy to be able to move back to Cleveland closer to her family and Grant got the job that would help advance his career. Back to Cleveland they went. Little did Hailey know that while she was still living in Baltimore finishing her travel nursing contract, Grant was planning their engagement. For any of you that know Grant, you know that he is not the best planner, but for this engagement he poured his heart and soul into it. That is when family and friends realized he was serious. Grant gathered all their close friends and family at Mortons Steakhouse which is the first dinner place they went with Grant's parents. Hailey thought they were going there to celebrate Ericka's graduation from nursing school, but boy was she wrong. The two sat at the table waiting for the rest of his family to arrive and Grant gave Hailey "the look". In that moment Hailey knew something was up. Next thing she knows, there is a ring on her finger! After saying some confidential words, Grant got down on one knee. Their family and friends were watching from afar in a private room where they were to greet the newly engaged couple. It was everything she could've wanted. This all brings us to today. We cannot wait to be married and share our special day with all of you!
