Two swipes right, Josh's devastating loss at mini golf, late night talks in which Josh divulged his dream for a jetted tub in his future home, and a goodnight kiss made for the perfect first date.

In August 2019 (less than a month after ~officially~ moving in together), we welcomed a senior citizen into our home. We've bulked up from carrying his 35 lb mass up and down the stairs, learned the importance of a rug cleaner, and became pros at cuddling.

After talking about it for months, Marianna picking out a ring, and Josh purchasing that exact one and keeping it a "secret", Josh proposed on a pier in Charleston, SC with our best friends and a pod of dolphins as witness. Pretty sure he asked and she said yes, we both blacked out a little.
