The time has arrived...

We met through a mutual friend in college at Western Carolina University at the fountain and reunited at a get together later that summer on July 19, 2014. We connected when I noticed the cross on his necklace through conversation, and we both expressed how important our faith was. Shortly after, we shared our first kiss. The next morning, he said the best thing in the world would be if I brought him a sprite to work. Therefore, I brought him a sprite to work (which he didn't think I would - and we all know how much Josh loves his soda ;) ) and from then on, we knew, we found each other. We both got to experience college together and realize how much we loved staying in our dorm on weekend nights eating junk food (which caught up to us - LOL) and watching Netflix. On December 31st, 2016, we were in our favorite place in the world, Wilmington, NC. We were on the boardwalk enjoying a lovely afternoon in the city. My favorite TV show in this world is One Tree Hill, which filmed in Wilmy. A character (Nathan) tells his future wife (Haley) on the boardwalk at one of the tables, "Don't say I never gave you anything," and handed her a cracker jack bracelet... Well, we were sitting at that exact table when I looked up from the water and Josh proposed by saying that exact same line. From that day forward, God has blessed us with a new house that we got to build from the ground up, a new puppy - Bella (and of course our sweet boy - Marley), a jump start to our careers, amazing cruise trips, and wonderful family and friends. We cannot wait to celebrate our special day with you. We are so grateful for each and everyone one of you guys and can't thank you all enough for the amount of love and support shown to us. God Bless! XOXO Alicia & Joshua
