The couple met on May 22, 2021, at a college parking lot party completely by chance. One of Josh’s friends got separated from his group and ended up meeting Carlee and her roommates, which eventually led Josh and Carlee together. Their friends quickly stepped into their roles as wingwomen and wingmen, giving Josh and Carlee a chance to get to know one another. There was an instant connection, though Carlee kept things interesting by giving Josh a fake name at first as a playful joke. Josh didn’t hesitate, doing his best to impress her and even trying to order her a pizza that night. As the night went on, conversation came easily and the spark between them was clear. Before the night ended, Carlee made the first move and got Josh’s number, leading to their first date soon after, and the beginning of something special.
