We're getting married!

Joshua was just getting back into online dating when a dear friend of Rachel's convinced her to do the same. The next day, we matched! We quickly realized the connection. By the end of our first week of nearly non-stop communication, Joshua had purchased a plane ticket for Rachel to visit him in Greenhill, AL from her home in Alexandria, VA. Frequent weekend trips turned into longer visits, thanks to remote work and gracious friends offering a place to stay. In December, Joshua surprised Rachel when he proposed outside the Washington DC Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, just an hour after his flight landed. Rachel soon moved to Alabama and has enjoyed being able to spend more time with Joshua's four boys (ages 11, 7, 5, and 2) who are excited to have a bonus mom. We feel so fortunate to be getting married and sealed on February 20th and look forward to sharing more of our story and celebrating with you in the future.
