Their little love story technically didn't start with them but with their mothers! Both of their moms became close friends while working at HFS. Though Charmaine and Joseph had known each other for quite some time, they hadn't formally started talking and becoming friends until spring of 2014. Their first date was going to see Amazing Spider-Man in theaters. Soon after they became inseparable, spending that entire summer at the beach, going on park dates and more! On one of their "dates" they went to the Manasquan Beach jettys where their infamously 2nd disastrous date happened.. Charmaine dropped her phone into the ocean. Overall, it was a fun date and they still laugh about that to this day... Rest in Peace iPhone 6.

After what seemed like the longest summer (really... it was the beginning of the summer lol) Joseph finally asked Charmaine to be his girlfriend! They went to Michael J. Tighe park for a fun little park hangout and on the way home he tried to ask her in the car. She couldn't hear him so un-knowingly turned the music up tuning him out. He was embarrassed but luckily he asked again when they got home and thus they made things official on June 20, 2014!

There was no better time for Joseph to propose than their favorite holiday: Christmas! After almost 7 years of dating, Joseph proposed by making Charmaine open her Christmas presents Russian nesting doll style. When she turned around to ask why the last box was empty there he was down on one knee!
