We're getting married!!!

It was early January of 2020. Josh and I both found ourselves in a dark place. We both felt as though we were unlovable and were beginning to lose hope that we would ever find "true love", if you will. Josh had recently gotten out of a long term relationship, and I had been on and off with someone who I let toy with my emotions one too many times. We were both feeling down and wanting to find our person. You know the saying two great minds think alike? Well maybe stupid minds in this case, because of all dating apps we could have joined, we both chose Tinder. If you have never used or heard of the dating app, more like cesspit app (for the most part); It is most definitely not the place to be looking for love, but regardless, we took our chances! Crazily enough I had only been on the app for about two hours before I swiped right on Josh and the "It's a Match" message popped up. Josh's opening line was "A girly girl who likes trucks huh? How does that work?", referring to my bio. We texted back and forth for the next several days getting to know each other, and on January 13th, Josh asked me out on a date. It was actually the first time I had ever semi-properly been asked out; I say semi because it was over text, but even still !!! Fast forward to January 18th, we met at Barber's Crossing for dinner. Those of you who know me, won't be surprised when I say I definitely made the first part of the date a little awkward. It was my first date I had ever been on, and looking around at the groups of friends or couples in the restaurant who clearly knew each other and here we were, basically strangers, meeting for the very first time! I felt a sort of pressure. All of that went away when he asked me to go on a drive to the Worcester Airport overlook (my favorite place). Once it was just us, I felt like I could finally relax; and let me tell you, I talked his ear off. On our drive back to my car, Josh asked for a second date. We were both busy for the next few weeks, so I asked "are you doing anything tomorrow?". Thankfully he said no! So we made a plan to go up to York Beach because he knew I had never seen the ocean in the winter before. The next morning Josh picked me up from my house at 10. Our first stop was N & J for coffee and then we started making our way to Maine. On the way up Josh let me play DJ. He was surprised to say the least when all I played was alternative/rock the entire way to York! He claimed that he had never met a girl that wasn't strictly into either country or pop, and to meet a girl who liked his kind of music was, and I quote, "refreshing". We walked on the beach for about an hour and made our way to Kittery Trading Post so Josh could get me "familiar with guns" since he had some himself. When Josh realized it was only 13:30 he started "looking at restaurants" when in reality he was secretly looking at google maps. He looked up from his phone, turned to me and asked "so do you wanna take a ride up to that place you like, Sebago?" Without hesitation I said yes and we were on our way! We must have walked at least a mile through a foot and a half of snow to get to the bridge that overlooks the lake. It was all worth it though when he asked unsurely and very nervously if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I had to clarify that that was what he was getting at though because his exact words were, " So do you want to continue dating or something, are you wanting to, I don't know. What are you wanting to do?" Very confused I asked, "are you asking me to be your girlfriend or to date for a while and see where this goes?" Which still left me with an open ended answer with him saying, "whatever you want to do". I took the wheel figuratively, not literally and said, "I guess we're not single anymore". It all happened relatively fast and very unconventional, we know, but with everything that led us up to the point of meeting the way that we did, there was no doubt that we were meant to find each other.
