Our Story

#JourneyToJoyner

It’s wild to think we went to the same school — the University of South Carolina Upstate — had mutual friends, and moved in similar circles… yet somehow never officially met. Looking back, we’re convinced timing was doing its thing. Both being from Charleston, we shared a love for culture and community. But more than hometown pride, we discovered how aligned we were in our values, our goals, and the way we approach relationships. Nothing about us felt rushed. It unfolded naturally. With every date, it became clearer that this was something special. Choosing each other became easy and constant. From that first night out to building a life side by side, our journey has felt both grounding and exciting. The best part is that we are just getting started.
