Our Story

First comes Facebook..then comes.. marriage?!

Our journey began in an unexpected but perfectly timed way — through a few simple conversations on Facebook. At the time, Josh had recently closed a chapter in his life, and mutual friends (who weren’t shy about sharing their opinions) quietly cheered us on from the sidelines. What started as lighthearted chatting quickly turned into something we both couldn’t ignore. Just a few days later, on July 18, 2014, we decided to meet in person at the Carnival of all places.. isn’t young love cute? I didn’t drive yet, so two of my closest friends brought me — and true to his shy, charming nature, Josh playfully waited until I’d walked away from them before making his appearance. That night, we walked together, laughed endlessly, and watched the fireworks light up the sky. It was the kind of movie evening you never forget — and of course, it ended with our first kiss. From that night on, something just felt right. We spent every moment we could together, and by July 31, 2014, we officially became a couple. Since then, we’ve grown side by side, sharing countless memories, challenges, and joys — always hand in hand. Becoming husband and wife just feels right.
