Over the summer of 2019, Josh's sister was trying out OC|FIT (where Kayla worked) but didn't want to go alone so she convinced Josh to go with her. Josh made the trip a few more times because he thought Kayla was cute (even told his best man that "[he was] going to marry that girl") and Kayla thought Josh was cute too. However, due to living some distance away and Kayla being in school, neither one tried to initiate anything. Flash forward a year and a half later, Josh received a message from OC|FIT about trying a couple free days and Josh responded that he was interested. Kayla was handling all of the responses and she remembered Josh and his story so she starting asking how work was and if he was still living in Pomona. Turned out, he was now living a mile away from her! The conversation died down, but about a month later Kayla's roommate went to a wedding in Sacramento and posted a picture...Josh was in the picture! The roommate's boyfriend and Josh were roommates back in college! Kayla followed Josh on Instagram and then Josh reached out to her and they started talking for a few weeks before Josh went back into OC|FIT (both were super nervous). Josh got Kayla to come over to see his home gym! They did another workout together a week later and afterwards they walked to one of their now go-to spots, Cava, spending hours talking. Josh invited Kayla over for dinner that night with his roommates and some friends. Staying out past her bedtime...she knew that there was something special about him. After that, the two were constantly hanging out, getting to know one another, and starting their love story. They went on multiple trips together to visit family, weddings, etc. A little after a year and a half, the two moved in together to take the next step in their relationship. They were both so excited to spend the holidays living with each other and traveling some more to see family. Fast forward to May 9, 2023, Josh told Kayla that they were going to take pictures for their 2 year anniversary because he knew that was the only way to get her to dress up haha. Once they got to Laguna Regional Park, they started walking the path and when they came around the corner, there was a picnic set up. Josh walked Kayla over and as she was looking at the cute set up, he took her hand and started telling her how much he loves her and dropped to his knee. Kayla could barely say "yes" she was taken over with so much joy! Bringing us to this special day that we get to share with our loved ones! We are so excited to celebrate with you all on June 8, 2024!
