Bride: Grace + Seth
The love story of Grace Opal Christiansen and Seth Connor Jackson is one rooted in friendship, perseverance, and the beautiful growth that comes from shared dreams. On March 16, 2024, surrounded by family and friends, they promised forever to each other—just four days shy of the eight-year anniversary of their first date.
The pair first met in 2012 at Gulf Shores High School. Seth, a junior at the time, and Grace, a sophomore, became fast friends. They remained in touch after Seth graduated and life took them to different schools—Seth to the University of Alabama and Grace to the University of West Florida. After a text from Seth one Thanksgiving, their story took a new turn. Although their schedules didn’t align then, they made plans for winter break. A boat ride that holiday season turned into a day neither of them would forget, and from that point forward, they were inseparable.
