We have had many discussions about our vision for our special day. We have decided that we would like to get married at a location close to our hearts and holds fond memories. We would like to formally invite you to our Happily Ever After Reception in Niagara Falls, New York on December 7, 2022. We understand that some of our guests will not be able to attend, and for those who cannot attend in person, we will stream our ceremony. We have added a FAQ section to our website, and if you have a question that is not on the site, please feel free to reach out to us. We cannot wait to share our happily ever after with you all!

On the evening of November 15, 2018, Joy swiped right on a man whose bio was short yet captivating: "Tall, Funny, Handsomish, Cute Dog, Rich (X). 4 out of 5 ain't so bad is it?" After two days of messaging, Christian and Joy went on their first date to Moe's. They talked for four hours before deciding to go across the street to Walmart, where they spent another two hours walking around the store in each other's company. Joy dropped Christian off at his apartment, where she was introduced to his dog, Cooper. With a hug goodbye, Joy and Christian were eager to see each other again. They planned to spend Thanksgiving evening together the following week. However, there was a sudden change of plans when Joy struck the concrete median on 1-20 W and totaled her car. Christian rushed to Joy's side to make sure she was alright. They spent Thanksgiving together and continued to message each other for the following weeks. On December 7, 2018, at La Parilla Mexican Restaurant in Fayetteville, Christian officially asked Joy to be his girlfriend, and the two quickly became inseparable.

In October 2020, Christian surprised Joy with a trip to Niagra Falls for her birthday. On October 7, Christian and Joy headed to Niagra Falls to go have lunch and view the Falls. On the ride up to the Falls from their hotel in Buffalo, Joy was snapping pictures left and right from the car windows. Christian told Joy that she would have even better photos as soon as they finished stopping for lunch. The couple stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe across the street from the Falls. After splitting a dessert, Christian lead Joy from the American Falls, to the rainbow-painted Bridal Veil Falls. While walking from Bridal Veil Falls to the iconic Horseshoe Falls, Joy noticed that Christian had become uncharacteristically quiet. Joy asked, "What are you thinking about?" Christian paused then quickly stammered, "I'm glad the leaves are changing!" They had made their way to the gorgeous Horseshoe Falls. Christian asked a bystander to take a picture of Christian and Joy in front of the Falls. While posing for the picture, Christian got down on one knee and asked Joy if she would marry him. Joy exclaimed, "Yes, of course, I will baby!!" Now the couple is eager to celebrate with you in 2022!
