Our love story started December 10, 2016 at an event downtown called, Santa Con. We were at a bar named Santo Grail and both of us were dressed up as Santa Clause, hence the name of the event. We were both waiting in the bathroom line when Joe being his playful self made a funny comment regarding the ladies having to wait in line longer than the men. Of course I (Courtney) had to jump in to make a snarky comment back to that. Not too long after that, Joe made his way over to formally introduce himself and buy me a drink.

We moved in together January of 2020. After a year of living together we added a new addition to our home, our beautiful dog Callie. After many camping trips, vacations and so many new adventures together, Joe popped the question on February 25, 2023 in Asheville, NC at a waterfall while hiking.

The surprises continued as March rolled around and we found out we would be welcoming a baby into this world. Our beautiful baby boy, Nash was welcomed November 30, 2023. We couldn't be more happy with our little bundle of joy. Now all that is left to do is celebrate us and our little family on May 17, 2024! We cannot wait to celebrate this day with all of our friends and family! We appreciate all of the love and support we have received.
