We could romanticize it and say it was love at first sight, where two souls crossed paths by fate... but, no. Like many modern couples (especially post-COVID), our story begins on Bumble—yes, the dating app. Kalie sent the first message, as per Bumble's rules, and Josh's charming response? “So, what trouble have you been getting up to lately?” A red-flag-worthy response for sure, but not enough to scare Kalie away. Josh, ever efficient with his time (gotta keep up that gym schedule), kept the messaging brief before suggesting they meet up. Another red flag? Perhaps. But hey, sometimes you just gotta go with it. Fast forward to July 17, 2022: the day of their first date. What was supposed to be a cozy evening for two quickly turned into Josh meeting not just Kalie, but also her friends and family—oh, and watching her dance around. Red flag? Maybe. But somehow, it worked, and Josh asked for a second date... on the condition that it be just the two of them this time. Kalie agreed, but not before taking down his license plate (just in case he turned out to be crazy). After the date at Across the Board, where Josh subjected her to an endless barrage of questions (which she later vented about to her family), they decided to give it another shot. Third time's the charm, right? Well, not quite. Kalie had to travel, which delayed their next meet-up, and when she returned, she got "sick". But Josh, ever patient, proposed a mini-golf date to keep things going. Kalie, fashionably late by a cool 45 minutes (because, yes, she was dancing around again), finally showed up—after setting off her car alarm in the parking lot. She barely talked during the game, but despite all that, Josh had seen enough. That was the moment he asked her to officially be his girlfriend. And now, here we are—after long distance, some mild chaos, and more than a few laughs—headed toward marriage.
