How We Met

Lambchop and Onions

Caelin and Josh met in December of 2014 between Christmas and New Years. Josh suggested meeting at Burgatory in the Waterfront (Caelin's favorite restaurant). Before even getting the night started Josh found Caelin at her car to present her with two gifts. 1. A bar of red velvet chocolate and 2. A little lambchop squeaker toy for Pippa. Major Bonus Points were scored. Josh knew to use the NoWait App with the busy restaurant which also really impressed Caelin. The two were talking so intently that they missed the first buzzer alerting them their table was ready. Caelin really impressed Josh during dinner when he asked her a question right as she had onion hanging out of her mouth. It was incredibly seductive. After a long and fun dinner, Josh walked Caelin to her car. There was even a first kiss on the first date!! Caelin drove away thinking "He could be The One".

The Proposal

What to wear?

Caelin and Josh went on a European vacation the summer of 2019. It was to be a 2 week long trip to 3 different countries. A few of Caelin's friends had asked if she was going to get her nails done in preparation for a proposal. Caelin did not get her nails done, and didn't think much more of it - just excited to be off of work and exploring new places with Josh. Caelin and Josh arrived in Prague and spent the first day on a tour and walking around as much as humanly possible in the 94 degree heat. It was quite a day! By day 2, the two had a plan for the main sites they HAD to see. This started with the Charles Bridge. Caelin and Josh love to start each day of vacation as early as possible to beat crowds. On this day they were preparing to leave the hotel by 7am. Caelin changed into a cute sundress and straw hat - to which Josh said "oh okay we are looking nice" and put on a button-up. Caelin then changed her mind and put on a romper. Josh changed back into a T-shirt. Caelin then AGAIN changed her mind back to the dress and straw hat. Josh then changed BACK into the button up. Caelin thought nothing of this- totally unsuspecting. The two left the hotel and walked to the Charles Bridge. The goal was to be some of the first people to walk across and read about each statue that lines the bridge as they made their way to Prague Castle. Josh knew Caelin really really wanted to see this bridge and that it was a beautiful and important landmark. He knew this was going to be the time and place to propose. As the two got further and further across the bridge, with Caelin reading aloud the facts of each statue, Josh was running out of time. About 3/4 of the way across Caelin was reading about a statue and turned to see if Josh was still listening. Josh was down on one knee and the rest is history! The rest of the vacation felt like a honeymoon!
