In June 2023, Joe and Clarice met while working at Chick-fil-A. She was 20 and he was 19. Between the rush of orders and shared breaks, their connection quietly grew through laughter, glances, and late-night talks. By August 31st, as summer faded, Joe asked Clarice to be his girlfriend. Her answer was an easy, joyful “yes,” the first chapter of their story. Two years later, after 4 birthdays, 2 Christmases, 3 new jobs, and 14 bouquets of flowers, on August 4th Joe asked a new question that would shape their forever: “Will you marry me?”
