Our teacher assigned us seats next to each other in Honors World Cultures our sophomore year of high school. Those 16-year-old kids had no idea how important those assigned seats would be to them.
Joe proposed to Emily at sunset on their trip to Virginia Beach in August of 2023. After asking someone to take their picture, Joe stepped away from Emily and got down on one knee. After a few long moments of silence, Emily finally said "YEAH!". We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you. See you in West Virginia!
