We both went to Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!) and were in the same classes. We sat next to each other, we studied together, and we became best friends throughout the years! Fast forward to senior spring break in Key West, FL, Julia finally asked Joseph if he was ever going to make his move. The rest is history!

Joseph had the ring for almost 6 months before he popped the question! He was saving it for a big ski trip out west. We decided to explore around Vail Village and take the gondola up the mountain for our first day. He had a photographer waiting on the top of the mountain who asked if he could take our picture for Vail's website. As he took a few photos, Joseph got on one knee and proposed. I said YES!
