We are excited to have you as part of our upcoming nuptials!

The first date was a lunch at Chili’s to see if there was any chemistry. It turned out we had a great and seamless conversation throughout our meal. Joseph asked Stephanie if she would like to go out later that night. Stephanie said yes. We went to play darts and then played games and had a drink at Main Event. We both felt like we may have found something special in one another.

Our first trip together was during Halloween to Austin. It was a weekend getaway to celebrate downtown on 6th Street for their Halloween event. Shortly after Joseph deployed to Panama City Beach, FL. for hurricane Michael. After 2 weeks apart Joseph wanted to have Stephanie fly out to visit. She went during her Birthday and Thanksgiving to celebrate and spend the week in Florida with him. We cooked our first Thanksgiving dinner together in the condo on the beach and went out for a nice dinner on her Birthday. We went shopping, hung out on the beach, worked out and enjoyed the jacuzzi! New Years we had a staycation downtown San Antonio on the Riverwalk. We went out for dinner, drinks, and dancing. January for Joseph’s birthday we went to Vegas baby! We did a lot while we were there. We visited sky bar, high roller, dinner at top of the world, watched the shows at the casinos, walked like 50 miles! Spring break Stephanie moved in and we celebrated downtown San Antonio. At the end of April we went to fiesta in San Antonio and then took a weekend getaway to the beach with some great friends. Mid June we traveled to California to visit San Francisco and Napa. We rode the trolley, saw the Golden Gate Bridge, spent time at Alcatraz, visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Academy of Sciences. In Napa we went out and had drinks in downtown Napa. The last day in Napa we took a ride on the wine train.

On a beautiful San Antonio summer night Joseph took Stephanie out to a nice dinner at the Tower of America’s restaurant. We enjoyed a nice private table right at the window over looking the city as the restaurant spun our view across the city. After dinner Joseph went to the restroom and pulled out the ring he had been holding on to for over a month. He returned to the table and pulled Stephanie to the end of the booth. He took a knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. With joy on her face and tears in her eyes Stephanie said yes. We hugged, kissed, went out to have some drinks, and danced the night away.
