We met in 2014 during a military summer camp in high school. We immediately became inseparable best friends. Our friendship led to the introduction of our families, and together, our families have been close friends for 10 years. Everyone knew and had prayed for this union before we could even fathom it, as we were too busy enjoying our bond through friendship. During Thanksgiving of 2023, Joel made his intentions known to one day marry his best friend, Calli. From Thanksgiving to early February 2024, the two of us began a stage of courting, where we submitted our desires to the Lord and grew in our relationship. On February 17, 2024, Joel proposed to Calli in a greenhouse in New York. Our union will be a beautiful covenant before God. We are so grateful to our friends and families for their examples in marriage and for their unwavering support of our union. We thank you for being part of this joyous time in our lives and we look forward to welcoming you to The Greenehouse wedding!
