Thank you for being here and being a special part of both of our lives! We are so excited to celebrate our marriage with you.

The couple grew up in the same community, even attending the same prekindergarten class as kids! They attended the same church Parrish, catching glances from one another throughout their time in Sunday school classes or church over the years, turning into sporting events as their schools would battle it out. They would catch up over MSN messenger and eventually text messages throughout middle school and high school or through mutual friends. They always knew one another were interested but simply encouraged each other throughout their high school careers. Their lives finally aligned a little more when they both started working as pharmacy technicians at CVS pharmacy. They started dating, completed undergraduate classes, and eventually moved to Charleston, WV to complete their Doctorate of Pharmacy degrees together.

Mandy and Josh took a trip to Daytona Beach, FL with their closest friends from their pharmacy school class to celebrate graduation. The couple spent the whole day on the beach with their friends, went to a special dinner, and afterward Josh planned a surprise engagement with the help of matron of honor, Rachel, on the beach at sunset. The perfect engagement day.
