Emily & Joe meet online, the new normal in the world today. Joe sent the most basic message, “hey, whats up?” and Emily repsonded. Their first date was at Millers in Mt. Laurel on October 28, 2017 and they hit it off. After about 2 months Joe took Emily ice skating at Penns Landing before a date at the flyers game and asked her to be his girlfriend. Anyone who knows Joe knows his love for the flyers so it was only fitting he asked her to be his girlfriend then! From then on for about a year they traveled back and forth between their parents homes and spent all of their weekends together. In February of 2019 Emily convinced Joe to make the move from Galloway and they got their first apartment in Maple Shade. Fast forward to 2020 and the search for a home began. A pandemic strikes and they settle on their 1st home together in Maple Shade right when the state of NJ was shutting down. After settling into their new home and doing home renovations Joe planned his proposal. Still in the midst of the pandemic Joe had all of their family and friends gather out front and made Emily come to the front door where he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She said Yes! of course and then the wedding planning began!
