Josh claims to have seen Catherine first, and naturally, Catherine claims to have seen Josh first. They originally connected at Josh's annual work block party. Josh then left town for a lengthy hiatus on the west coast, not bothering to inquire about Catherine's phone number. The two thought they were going separate ways until Josh returned to Charleston and they met up to go for a casual run, as friends. After the run, Josh asked Catherine if she would go to dinner with him that Friday. The two spent every day together before their first "official" date and by Friday, Josh had asked Catherine to be his girlfriend. The rest is history, as they can rarely be separated.
