#WittWed: Chris & Grace Wigton Grant

Chris and I met through our love for athletics. He played football and I played softball, but we met during an intramural basketball game, where I was working the scoreboard and he was playing the game.

We knew of each other, but we hadn’t officially met until following the game when Chris challenged me to a game of “Pig,” where I beat him! We proceeded to date for the next two years, enjoying our time as students at ӽ and driving to our hometowns of Worthington and Loveland every weekend during the summers to visit one another.

Shortly after Chris graduated, we ended up going our separate ways for a year in which Chris continued to pursue the relationship, driving from Cincinnati to Columbus, just to put a rose and a note in my car door handle. God brought us back together in the most perfect way over the Fourth of July weekend, and we were engaged just 7 months later.

Now, 13 years after that game of Pig, we are happily married with four beautiful kids, and a fifth due any day. We are so grateful that ӽ brought us together all those years ago. It was a love meant to be!
