How We Met

BBQ's are the real deal.

On the fateful evening of April 30, 2022, we met at a friend's BBQ that changed the trajectory of our lives. Our mutual friend Nickey Clark and her husband Jacob host get togethers at their home and are known to invite anyone and everyone. Neither of us were looking for a relationship and ended up finding our forever. A week later we went on our first date and the rest is history.

The Proposal

A Freezing November Day to Remember

Josh planned a fun day on November 12, 2022, that is now forever a cherished memory. We went to Seven Swans Crêperie to start the day. We then spent the afternoon exploring Kansas City, enjoying the art at The Nelson Atkins Museum, and later having the surprise of a lifetime. Josh proposed at the WWI Memorial with a piece of art from Tiffany and Co.'s private collection. Encircled by a heart of flowers and candles, it was the sweetest moment in our lives. Josh chose the WWI Memorial as it has an incredible view of the skyline and where we witnessed a random proposal on our first date. This place will forever be special to us.
