Vaughn and Jo first crossed paths online. On their first date Vaughn fell for Jo’s big smile and bubbly personality. He was so intrigued by her beauty and her brains that it did not take long for him to decide he wanted to keep her in his life. Jo, although a hopeless romantic has never been one to be easily charmed or swayed... Until Vaughn came along. After spending more time with him, she found herself being swept away by his comedic sense of humor, calm spirit, and big heart. After months of cheeky banter, the electric slide, good times, healthier food choices, which led to a Salmon cook-off between the two of them (Which Jo allegedly won fair and square!) and the meeting of each other’s family. The courtship continued, and before long, they both discovered how complementary their personalities and beliefs were, starting with their faith in God and continuing with their love of family and their dedication to live, laugh and love life. These love birds were vacationing in the beautiful island of Saint Martin when Vaughn got on one knee and popped the question with a flashing light-up cracker jack box toy ring. Jo didn’t know the full meaning of the toy ring until his sister shared an intimate story about Vaughn and their mother. When Vaughn was younger, he spent all of his money to buy toy rings from the bubble gumball machine for his mother. Although he didn’t know they weren't real. He wanted to give her the best of everything. This is the same motto he wants for his wife – nothing but the best. We are so looking forward to starting this new chapter together and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of our loved ones. xoxo #COPELANDWEDDING2020
