We met online. Very modern, I know! What were the chances we were just a few hours apart? Spending some days exploring Atlanta together, we both realized just a few days in that this could be something, despite neither of us really looking for or expecting it. After several months of traveling back and forth to visit one another every few weeks, driving over 500 miles, we are inseparable.

We had planned first big vacation together to the big apple, NYC, in January 2024. We spent five days exploring the city and his home, Long Island, together. At the peak of excitement, we had booked a reservation on an observation deck 100 stories above Manhattan on our last night. Despite Joseph's fear of heights, he got down on one knee and he didn't even have to ask!
