It all started with a wedding! While celebrating a wedding of a mutual friend, Joye met Shannon. Unbeknownst to Joye, this chance encounter would change her life. Shannon and Joye established a quick friendship. Shannon (the matchmaker that she is) decided to give Joye the phone number of one of her good friends, Jordan. Joye nervously texted Jordan the following week, to see if a match between the two could be made. Instantly, the two had a great connection and began texting long messages to each other. They had great conversations regarding their many common interests. Joye and Jordan eventually decided to meet in person for coffee at a local coffee shop. The coming days and months flew by as the couple continued to bond over new cooking adventures and traveling experiences. Joye and Jordan connected on their faith, values, thirst for adventure, and the occasional punny joke! One day Joye and Jordan took a walk around the USC campus and eventually made their way to the statehouse. At the Statehouse, Jordan asked Joye to be his girlfriend. What came after were many more adventures all over SC and various states (from KY to FL to OH to LA) all the while falling more in love with each other and realizing that this was the person God had intended for the other. They found that traveling together was easy and enjoyable; each day together was filled with much laughter and many smiles. Realizing that the other made them better, each realized they did not want to do life without the other. In October 2021, Jordan proposed to Joye at a waterfall in Greenville, SC (one of their favorite locations they had visited, located at Oconee Station State Park). Jordan worked hard to make it a surprise and even packed a picnic that they enjoyed together to celebrate the very special moment. The adventure now continues and they are excited to celebrate their future with all of you!
