Josh & Victoria probably met some time in 2014, but no one remembers the details. In November 2016, Victoria hosted a surprise birthday at her house for their mutual friend, Tommy. Josh was the first to arrive, and in true gentlemanly fashion, he quickly offered a helping hand to set the table & light the candles. After a glimpse of her master-chef skills, particularly the balsamic glazed brussel sprouts with bacon (a Chrissy Teigen recipe), he was smitten. So much so, that he sent her a belated hostess gift...unsigned. She sat confused for a couple of days before deducing who the secret sender was. For Victoria, on the other hand, it took a little more convincing. On Christmas Eve Eve, she agreed to go on a proper date in the city at Double Knot. Over izakaya, Josh learned about her love for bourbon & she learned about his love for dogs. Then, they danced the night away at Opa 'til the lights came on. Needless to say, the evening was a success. Weeks turned into months & years, and they were still not sick of each other yet. She indulged his favorite local pastimes: sunny days down the shore in Avalon & autumn days watching football. While he encouraged her love of travel; they toured Charleston, Chicago, New Orleans, Paris & more. In September 2018, they decided it was time to take the next step & move in together. For Josh, that meant moving to a whole new state! After moving in together, Victoria (repeatedly) brought up marriage. Being a control freak, she tried to plan her own engagement & Josh humored her requests. All the while, he had a surprise up his sleeve. As they were crossing Broad Street on October 18, 2019, a photographer stopped them on the way to dinner. She asked for test subjects to get the lighting right for clients coming to a spot front of City Hall. Victoria happily agreed... and within minutes, she realized they were the clients as she turned to find Josh on one knee!
