We're Getting married!

Joe and Emma first met at Ripley's aquarium, where they both worked, inside the jellyfish exhibit in the fall of 2016. They quickly became friends and bonded over the fact that despite meeting at college 500 miles away, they were both born in Catonsville, MD! Fast forward to March of 2017, they went on their first date. It started out at Waffle House, they went to the beach, even though Emma was on crutches (she's kind of a klutz), and followed up with sandwiches for dinner. At the end of the date, Joe asked Emma to be his girlfriend and everyday since has been an adventure and blessing. Since they started dating, they have both graduated from Coastal Carolina University in Conway, SC with bachelor's of science in Marine Science, moved across the country to Oregon, moved back across the country to South Carolina, and most obviously, got engaged! Throughout their relationship, they've been to numerous concerts, gone on countless road trips, held a handful of jobs, and listened to way too much Taylor Swift.
