We first crossed paths in a coffee shop, at a time when life wasn’t quite ready for us yet. Even then, we felt a quiet pull toward one another—something undeniable, something special. We stayed connected, trusting that if it was meant to be, our paths would find their way back together. Two years later, when the timing finally aligned, our story truly began. From that moment on, our lives have been filled with adventures, travel, laughter, and countless memories, as well as unwavering support through every high and low. Four years later, our next chapter unfolded when Joel proposed, surrounded by our closest friends and family. It was a moment overflowing with love, joy, and happy tears—a memory we’ll cherish forever. We are beyond excited to begin this new journey hand in hand and to celebrate our love with the people who mean the most to us.
