We first met in high school. We were in theatre and choir together along with several mutual friends. In November 2019 we were in our school's production of Beauty and the Beast together--Josh was Beast, Christina was Mrs. Potts (plot twist). We spent a lot of time together during rehearsals, and friendship quickly turned into flirting backstage and talking everyday. As we began to realize our feelings for each other, we decided it was time to have a conversation about it. It was at this point that Christina got freaked out about starting a relationship, so much so that she ended up rejecting Josh when he told her he wanted to date her. Flash forward another month. We had still been hanging out as friends (sort of) throughout the end of November and beginning of December, going on drives and spending time in groups with friends. As this time passed, Christina realized that she did still like Josh, and felt there were many signs pointing to a relationship with him. So on December 13th, 2019, Christina texted Josh and told him she would be willing to date him. Perfect timing--Josh was just about to tell Christina to stop flirting with him if she didn't want to date him! So we decided to go on a date. One date turned into two, and then three, and on the night of January 3rd, 2020, Josh asked Christina to be his girlfriend! The rest is history. We began our relationship and continued it through COVID quarantine, two summers of camp, college, and more, our love for each other growing day by day. It only took us three months to decide we wanted to spend forever together (though we waited until Josh was out of high school to get engaged) and we are so excited to celebrate and make this decision official with all of you this May!
