We're getting married!

Josh and Denise met during a pivotal time in their lives—Josh was serving in the U.S. Marine Corps in Oceanside, California, and Denise was starting her senior year at California State University, Long Beach. From their very first date, they talked openly about what mattered most to them: their goals, faith, traditional values, and hopes for a family one day. Right away, they realized they shared a special connection. With Josh finishing up his military contract debating re-enlistment and Denise getting ready to start her career in civil engineering, the future was a bit uncertain. They had a few stretches apart with Josh being sent to different places by the military, but their shared vision and strong foundation kept them close and committed. From the start, they knew they were building something real—a life together based on faith, love, commitment, and ultimately, the desire to build a quiet, meaningful life together back in Josh’s home-state of Montana.
