LET'S CELEBRATE!

Their story starts off like most present day love stories. See picture on a dating app, like picture, start conversation. Romantic, right? It was obviously Nate who expressed the first interest, but Josie who invited him to "start the chat"... and start the chat he did! But his questions were different than most in the dating app scene. He really wanted to get to know her, asking questions about education, fitness, biscuits and gravy (Josie's favorite breakfast food). It wasn't long before Nate asked her to go to a Cavs game, but she declined. He was persistent though, and soon enough, they were going to dinner at The Oak Barrel in Valley View, the town where Nate works (February 26, 2019). If any of you know Josie, you know she never passes up an opportunity for a free meal and happily accepted the offer to meet him there. To Nate's surprise, she was the cheapest date he had ever had - Josie didn't order anything to eat and drank nothing but water because she was in the middle of a fitness challenge at her gym. There seemed to be no time for eating anyways, as they spent so much time talking that evening, that the restaurant was closing down around them. Things went so well on the first date, that they already started to plan their second date, which turned out to be a Cavs game on the upcoming Sunday (March 3, 2019). Nate was a total gentleman and walked her to her car, and both were eagerly awaiting the next time they would see each other! The second date turned into the third, fourth, and so on, and the rest is history! Dating apps were quickly deleted, as they both knew they found their person! After 2 years of dating, Nate asked Josie to marry him on 4/10/2021 at Marblehead Lighthouse in Sandusky, Ohio. It was a dream day and now they are ready for their dream wedding! They can't wait to share their day of love with all of you.
