It was a Friday night about two years ago and the two were out at an event, not having met each other yet. Karri noticed Josh from across the room from previous conversations with a friend. So Karri asked the friend to introduce them, not with any intention of anything coming out of it at the moment, just a familiar face and to make a connection. Once the friend introduced the two, Karri jokingly asked Josh if he was on a dating app recently, after she had seen his profile, and Josh recalls thinking to himself in that moment "did I swipe her left or right?" LOL. After small talk that night, the two exchanged contacts. Josh was very intrigued with Karri after the first interaction, so he began to pursue a friendship with her. Shortly after, the two went out for coffee one Sunday afternoon and spent hours talking about their backgrounds, faith, careers, desires, and much more. After hanging out more and building a strong friendship with each other, the two realized that they wanted to take the relationship further than a friendship. With prayer and intentional courtship, Josh and Karri became exclusive with the intent to marry.
