We met for the first time in December 2019 at a dive bar on South Lamar, where Calais ordered a beer and Joseph inadvertently ordered the pinkest thing on the menu. A few weeks later, a New Year's Eve airline misfortune (thanks, Lupa) unexpectedly led us to ringing in 2020 side by side. The rest is history! We jokingly reference the corny Rascal Flatt's song 'Bless the Broken Road' when talking about our journey as a couple. Before meeting each other, we each saw our fair share of frogs and toads. Then COVID quarantine and a winter storm-induced pipe burst tested our patience... with the universe and with each other. But with every trial, we have still managed to make each other laugh, tame each other's anxieties, and love each other with our full beings. We are so excited to embark on this next season of life together as husband and wife. Kicking off this journey with our nearest and dearest friends and family by our side, in a place we love so much, will be a dream come true. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
