Meredith & Grant first met in Atlanta through Aubrey, who is Meredith’s best friend and attended church with Grant. At Aubrey's bonfire, Meredith & Grant were chatting fireside and discovered that they work in the same industry. Prior to this meeting, Grant had unknowingly been emailing her for work. After Meredith realized who was sending her these emails, she dubbed Grant “the email blast guy,” which he thought was hilarious. Just friends, Grant started personalizing his email blasts to Meredith, which she found endearing. Shortly after, Grant asked Meredith to grab casual drinks. Their first "date, non-date" was grabbing drinks in EAV. Both left feeling like this could be something special. Grant didn't hesitate to ask Meredith out on a real date, which was at Ammazza for pizza the next week. The two have truly been inseparable ever since. After 3 years of friendship and 6 months of dating, Meredith & Grant knew this was it, and they were absolutely in love! Aubrey gave her blessing as Matchmaker, and Grant and Meredith's parents gave their blessings (even with Grant boldly asking Meredith's dad on Father's Day). The very next weekend, Meredith & Grant went ring shopping. Grant concocted a proposal plan with his sister, Emy. They flew Aubrey in from Denver, to Meredith’s surprise, and Grant would propose to Meredith on a Friday night at her place. Aubrey, Emy, and Grant would be waiting for her with champagne, roses, and the ring - But... Meredith ruined the surprise by catching the 3 of them sneaking into her condo stairwell, and Emy said "It's happening, do it here!" So Grant got down on one knee, and he asked Meredith to marry him, next to the fire pump and the bike racks, with Aubrey and Emy as witnesses. Meredith loved every moment, and of course, she said YES!
