From Childhood Crush to Happily Ever After: Actress Denyce Lawton Weds Executive Eban Grasti in Washington, DC

Actress Denyce Lawton and Eban Grasti sealed their love story with a stunning wedding in Washington, DC, surrounded by loved ones. Their journey sparked in 6th grade, navigated long-distance separations and eventually led to the two reconnecting on Facebook in 2009 where they became Facebook friends, and casually kept in touch over the years. In early Spring 2022, Denyce was residing in Los Angeles and Eban was living in Chicago when the rekindled friendship then blossomed into long distance dating. After a memorable proposal on the ‘LOVE LOCK BRIDGE’ in Paris, the lovely couple tied the knot in a beautiful #GrastiEverAfter celebration.

Wedding song, and the significance of the song:

“With You” by Tony Terry is one of our favorite songs together. It was a song that played at our 7th grade dance that we never got to dance together to. The song is beautiful, nostalgic and says how we feel about each other.
