Where it all Began: It all started when Robyn messaged Caroline on her photography Instagram interested in details for Graiden's senior pictures. It was toward the end of Caroline's first semester at Texas A&M and she was feeling burnt out from her semester of ATM senior sessions. Initially Caroline was going to tell her that she was booked up for Christmas break, but something in the back of Caroline's head told her she should book this session. Flash forward to the day of the session, Caroline and Graiden hit it off. They had an absolute blast and Caroline had no regrets deciding to book this shoot. At the end of the shoot, they both separated and had no idea of all of what was to come.

After a few awkward DMs, texts, and snapchats. Caroline and Graiden began to casually hang out with their first date lasting about 12 hours. They met both families on the first date and soaked up every last second together before Caroline left to go back to College Station and finish her freshman year. They both were sad to leave each other but parted ways to finish out their school years without officially dating. Caroline was nervous and unsure about dating a high schooler and was not sure how it was going to work with completely different schedules and phases of life.

After a couple of weeks apart, Graiden coordinated with Caroline's two best friends a day to surprise her in College Station. Caroline was absolutely shocked and they both spent the day together doing things around College Station. This was the day they offically started dating and both realized this could really be something special.

And so it began... the two began tearing up the roads of highway 6 back and forth to see each other. Many hours were spent spending time at the baseball field.

PROM!! Graiden being a year younger still had his senior prom. Caroline, although she thought it was funny to go back to high school for the night, was thrilled to attend. She never got her senior prom due to Covid.

High schooler at the college formal! Graiden was able to find a way to make it back to College Station with his busy schedule and go to Caroline's freshman Pi Phi formal.

Summer 2021 was full of lots of baseball, traveling, and even a quick family trip together to Florida before Graiden began his Rice University online summer school.

School started back up and Graiden was able to make some occasional trips up to CSTAT for some games! This game in particular was super memorable because we BTHO of Bama!

Sophomore Pi Phi Fire Dance. Graiden was able to make it to Caroline's date party straight from practice to turn back around the same night to wake up in time for class the next day on his BIRTHDAY!

ONE YEAR of dating!! Here was to another awesome year!

Graiden's freshman baseball season! Caroline tore up highway six going back and forth trying to make it to as many games as possible while balancing friends and school.

Graiden leaves to spend the entire summer in ALASKA!! Summer ball is no joke and Caroline and Graiden were separated for a little over six weeks while Caroline spent the summer traveling and Graiden played baseball games almost daily.

Reunited! After a long time apart, Caroline traveled with the Wests to visit Graiden in Alaska! They had the absolute best time! (You should ask Caroline about their fishing day! It is quite the story...)

Summer was over and school started back up! Caroline started her junior year and Graiden his sophomore year! This year was by far our favorite halloween costume!

Graiden comes on his first Petru Disney trip! This was a big test for him! Could he keep up with the Petrus? Obviously he did because you're reading their wedding website.

Montana Family Trip with the Wests! Before Graiden left for summer ball we were able to take a quick trip to Montana! SO! MUCH! FUN!

Go Dockspiders!! Graiden left for his second summer of summer ball, but this was nothing the two of them couldn't handle. Especially after the previous summer, this was a piece of cake.

School is back and so is Gameday!! Graiden started his junior year and Caroline her senior. The two of them made a trip up to Dallas with friends for the ATM vs Arkansas game. Let's be real for a second... i think over half of the reason Graiden wanted to go to Dallas was for the Cowboys game on Sunday!

Caroline's ring dunk! A whole pitcher of beer down the hatch in 32 seconds, definitely an Aggie tradition Graiden could not miss!

Graiden's 21st!! Cheers to the birthday boy!!
