Our love story began on March 17th, 2019, Joseph’s birthday. We were both out celebrating with friends in Miami for St. Patty’s weekend when Joseph reached out to a college friend of his, Anel Ramirez. Anel was out celebrating with her Alpha Phi sorority sisters and made plans to meet up with Joseph. When we first met, we locked eyes with one another and Joseph asked for my number. Determined to learn more about me, Joseph asked me out a few days later. Our first date lasted 6 hours as we found out we had so much in common. We had similar friends groups due to Greek life at Barry University and Joseph's fraternity, Alpha Delta Gamma, was close to the sisters of Alpha Phi. We were instantly attracted to one another and knew there was chemistry, thus we began dating. Eventually Joseph left to pursue his masters degree at Clemson University in South Carolina and Genesis followed thereafter. After 5 years of adventures together in our new state, Joseph proposed on June 22, 2024 on a beautiful sunny day in the High Country of North Carolina at the summit of Grandfather Mountain. 1,000 times yes, now and always.
