Our paths first crossed at our church's college group in the summer of 2021. Though Bri thought Josiah was cute, and Josiah thought the same of Bri, life had them in separate directions so the two remained distant acquaintances for 2 years. (Although later, they would learn of the secret crush they both had on each other for quite some time).

During those two years, they each grew—both in faith and as individuals. Then in the beginning of 2023, Bri and Josiah found themselves becoming increasingly closer, as they both shared the same mutual friend group. Their connection grew deeper and it became so evident to each other and those around them that Bri and Josiah's feelings towards one another was undeniable.

Finally, Josiah had finally gained the courage to ask bri on a date on Easter of 2023. (best first date ever)!! After that date, bri called her parents almost immediately after, convinced that josiah was going to be her husband.

Our relationship grew with every conversation we have had, with every intentional date we have planned for one another, and in every life high and low that came our way individually and as a couple

We stress this to each other almost every day, but there is nothing like having your life partner not only be your bestest friend in the whole world, but also be the absolute best teammate you could need, want, and ask for.

In January of 2025, Josiah planned the best "birthday" trip ever to Utah (one of Bri's favorite places) where he celebrated her and showered her with love and then asked her to be his wife just 2 days later on 1/4/2025. He even flew our families out to witness and celebrate with us :,)

We are beside ourselves excited to say "I do" in November 2025 and spend the rest of our lives together as husband and wife!!!
