We first met in Las Vegas through a mutual friend of ours. It was difficult to get to know each other in a group setting, but I knew Joe was someone I wanted to get to know. When we both got back to Washington we were talking every day and started to see each other more and more. I think we both knew this was going to be something special. Flashing forward Joe proposed Christmas morning 2020. I had never seen him so nervous before, I thought maybe he got me something I was not going to like so I was fully prepared to fake it. Little did I know the BEAUTIFUL ring that was hiding in his pocket. At the time I did not realize what was happening, as if I wasn't expecting every adventure, nice dinner, or trip to end in engagement. Looking back it was perfect to be surrounded by family and be able to celebrate the entire day altogether. Over the last 6 years we have grown together, traveled the world together, and pushed one another toward new experiences. We can't wait to see where this life and this new journey takes us and we are looking forward to celebrating our special day surrounded by family and friends. See you in June!
