A Philly Love Story

From Double Knot to Tying the Knot

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!

For all the days along the way
