Our Love Story
Our love story began in 2019 when Josh discovered Brianda on Instagram and was immediately captivated. After months of invites, Brianda finally attended one of Josh’s events on December 14th, and their connection was instant. Just as things were taking off, the pandemic separated them—Brianda returned to Mexico for nine months, deepening their bond through long-distance conversations. When she finally came back to Boston, Josh wasted no time planning their first date at Mistral on February 3, 2021. That night confirmed what they already felt—this was something special. On March 28, 2021, their relationship became official. They traveled together, moved in together, and built a life full of adventure and love. Then, on August 19, 2023, Josh surprised Brianda with a breathtaking proposal at View Boston, overlooking the city at sunset. With tears in her eyes, she said yes! What started as an Instagram message has grown into a beautiful journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with you!
