B and Joey first met in college in 2016 through mutual friends, Olivia and Stephanie. While their paths crossed during those years, their story truly began later. In 2021, after B’s Facebook account was hacked, she reconnected with Joey—and a simple message became the start of something unexpected. As they spent more time together, it quickly became clear how naturally their lives aligned. B had plans to move to Colorado after graduate school, and Joey was already living in Denver when they began dating. Early on, Joey traveled to San Antonio to attend B’s sister’s birthday, where he met her family. Just one week later, B traveled to Houston to spend the holidays celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas with Joey’s family. Although they were not officially dating at the time, those moments confirmed what they both already knew—that their relationship was something enduring. Joey proposed in Telluride, a small mountain town they both hold close to their hearts. Standing together at a quiet overlook, it was just the two of them, exactly as they had always imagined their life would be—simple, intentional, and deeply connected. Private by nature, it felt only fitting that this next chapter began the same way: side by side, with a promise meant to last forever.
