Our journey began at Baylor University in 2022, where we first met during a Black Faculty and Staff Association event—a space created to uplift and connect Black professionals on campus. We were both focused on our work, our communities, and our callings... but love had other plans. What started as casual conversations turned into late-night texts, unexpected laughter, and a friendship that felt easy, natural, and light. Josh may not have had much "game" saying things like, "is the sky still blue over there by you?" but the story was already writing itself. Eventually, just before heading out on a work trip, Josh found the courage to ask Tranquility out. That first date, on November 19, 2023, became a turning point: the beginning of something real and intentional. We made it official on January 1, 2024, starting the new year with clarity, love, and shared sense of purpose. Since then, our connection has only deepened through prayer, laughter, honesty, and joy. On March 8, 2025, Josh asked for Tranquility's hand at the beautiful Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, surrounded by close friends in a private, heartfelt moment. Just when Tranquility thought the surprises were done, he led her to a beautiful celebration at Haywire in Plano, where loved ones gathered to toast to forever. From that first message to a moment under the garden sky, our love has been shaped by intention, grace, and deep connection. And we’re just getting started.
