We met in the summer of 2012 during Georgia Tech marching band camp. I had just switched instruments and was in the mellophone section for the first time. We both quickly grew to like each other, but it took two months for either of us to say anything to anybody! On October, 22, 2012, we were working on homework in one of the undergraduate buildings on campus, and Josh asked me if I'd like to go on a date with him. The only word I could muster was "sure" - partly because I was shocked/happy and partly because I was listening to the new Taylor Swift album "Red" that had released that very same day. As they say, the rest is history!

In May 2019, I planned a trip for Jenna to visit her friend Amisha in Philadelphia as something to look forward to after her board exams. In the weeks leading up to the proposal, I'd made a scrapbook of our time together including letters from some of her closest friends. On Friday night, Jenna flew to Philly. Thinking something was up she used her Find My Friends app to see if I was really in Atlanta. Thankfully, a few days earlier I bought a new phone because my old one was on its last leg. Making the most of an unfortunate loss of the phone, I used the old one to spoof my location -- making it look like I was in Atlanta even though I was on an airplane heading toward her. On Saturday, Amisha (in on the surprise for a few months) told Jenna she had an awards banquet at Independence Hall. When Jenna showed up the surprise was blown (even though she says it wasn't a surprise). Given that you're reading this, we all know what the answer was when I popped the question!
