Emma and Joe first met in 2010 during Spat Camp for the University of Minnesota Marching Band. Joe was a second year member of the baritone section, while Emma was a freshman clarinet player who had been coerced into becoming a baritone. Emma admits to having a crush pretty early on from marching next to Joe during rehearsals, but the timing wasn't right for either of them. 5 years of friendship passed; hundreds of hours of marching band rehearsals, football games, inadvertent bus rides to and from class (ask Emma about that), and more Joe had (finally) started crushing on Emma. He asked her out, and after a couple of dates, the timing still wasn't right because Emma was moving to Philadelphia for grad school. Thankfully, that still wasn't the end of the story! Flash forward to 2018; Emma had earned her Master's degree and moved back to Minnesota (some allege that the reason was Joe, Emma refuses to say one way or the other!). Not long after her return, she asked Joe if he wanted to go to see Avengers: Infinity War. Joe agreed, thinking that they were seeing it as friends who hadn't seen each other in a while. Little did he know the surprise that would be in store for him... The timing was finally right! Emma asked him out! Emma said she wanted to date, Joe agreed, and both of them soon realized that them being together just felt right. Since then, there has been even more movie dates, trails hiked, and breweries visited. Both of them couldn't imagine being with anyone else and are excited for the adventures to come! ---------- Thank your for visiting our website!
