We are so excited to share our special day with you! It has been a long time coming and each of you has played a special part in our story. God had a plan for us both individually but a greater plan for us as a couple. We hope you can make it to our special day for a time of celebration of what God has done in our life and how He will use this marriage to bring glory to Him and bless all those we encounter in life. Be prepared to laugh, cry a little, share heartfelt stories and dance as if no one is watching.....all on a little farm in a little town in the middle of nowhere.

We met online, on the website “Plenty of Fish” in May of 2017. Mollie received a message from Josh after one of Mollie’s photos caught his eye and was intrigued by her profile. Mollie liked the genuine message, however , she was unsure if josh even had teeth or good teeth. Josh only had photos of him smiling without his teeth and showing some interesting variations of facial hair. Despite the odd photos, Mollie heard a voice inside her saying , “It’s not going to hurt to just message him, it might be worth it” After that, we chatted back and forth for about a week until we had our first date at Barnes and Noble. When we saw each other in person and started chatting, we were both smitten. We chatted until B&N kicked us out and we chatted even more after that. The rest is history.

Joshs version: It’s theee day; the love of my life has been bestowed upon me from above! DON’T BLOW IT!! The most perfect ideas are not perfect & plan B’s are golden…wink wink! Quick! It’s getting late!! I have an idea but will it be sincere? Will she feel it’s from the heart? If I could just touch my heart with her heart she’d truly know! Oooh here it goes…. My Almighty Heavenly Father, Thank you for trusting me to love, care for & support one of your angels, she said YES!!! Mollies version : I knew the proposal was coming soon and was on high alert for anything out of the ordinary. Josh made plans for my birthday weekend, however, I got a lovely gift of COVID. That day he told me we were going to the beach the next day, and right then I thought “oh yeah, he’s definitely going to propose! “ He takes me to Avila beach with stuff hidden in the backseat. We get there and it’s super packed, I could sense his frustration. We set up a spot and it happened to be right behind a group with an overwhelming view of skimpy suits and booties out on display. I thought, “please don’t propose here! SO not romantic! “ . We finally move to a better spot after half the people leave and as time goes on, I could sense more panic from him. I knew he was trying to find the perfect spot , as I’ve told him in the past , that I don’t want a proposal in front of a bunch of strangers. When we stopped to take in the scenery, that’s when he finally pulled out the ring!

What was your first thought when you saw the other in person for the first time? Josh: Wow, she’s really cute. I’m excited to see where this goes. Mollie: Aw he’s cute with those dimples and that hat. Let’s see if he will pass my sense of humor test. What is the attribute that you fell in love with? Josh: How easy it was to connect and converse with her. Mollie: How genuine, easy going, teachable and intentional he was. What adventures do you look forward to as a married couple? Josh: Traveling and hosting Mollie: Making a home together, hosting, traveling, possibly fostering children Who is the messiest? Josh: Me Mollie: Josh Who is going to do all the cooking? Josh: We are going to take turns as well as cook together Mollie: What he said What weird habit does the other person have that you now must embrace? Josh: How she rushes out the door soon after she wakes up to go to work Mollie: How he has to smell everything! Even when shopping , he has to stop and smell the candles , soap or whatever is available What is something new you have learned from the other person? Josh: Mollie has taught and I have learned to look at things and situations as they are. Living more so without me being in the center of it. Mollie: Many things over the years, but first thing that comes to mind…he’s taught me to be more personable. For example, saying the person’s name who’s serving you, or take that extra minute to speak with them. As well as slowing down in day to day life. Where do you want to live ultimately? Josh: What Mollie said Mollie: In the country with a good amount of land, somewhat close to a big city. Not too far from family. What will be your mission as a married couple? Josh: To be a light in the world/spread the gospel , love and serve others Mollie: Love God, Love each other, love others and share the hope that’s in Jesus.
