Josh & Bella met back in high school in 2015 through mutual friends. From the very beginning, there was an undeniable spark between them. Josh was instantly drawn to Bella's outspoken nature, intelligence, and kind heart. Bella, captivated by Josh's genuine spirit, calmness, & quick-witted humor, found herself looking forward to every chance they had to spend time together. Over the past 9 years, Josh & Bella have been inseparable. From dating through high school, to both discovering their career passions in early adulthood, to moving into a new home together with their 2 dogs- they have enjoyed all the different phases of life so far with a best friend by their side. Flash forward to February 2024. Josh couldn't wait any longer & decided it was time to propose to Bella on vacation in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they took their first vacation together as high schoolers back in 2016. Just before dinner, with the sun setting and painting the sky in shades of cotton candy over a white sandy beach, Josh got down on one knee and asked Bella to marry him. Of course, she said YES! They are filled with joy to be able to plan a wedding just a few days before their 10th anniversary together. Josh & Bella cannot wait to surround themselves with their friends and family members on July 19th, 2025, to celebrate their love and say "I do!"
