Haley and Josh grew up just a few houses apart—familiar faces in the same neighborhood, with childhood memories quietly overlapping. When Josh moved away, life carried them down separate paths, and nearly a decade passed before those paths would cross again

Fast forward ten years: Josh was stepping into an MMA cage, and Haley was reluctantly stepping into the role of designated driver for her brothers, who happened to be Josh’s biggest fans. A few punches and a post-fight Instagram message later, Josh tried his luck—but Haley left him on read for nearly six months.

Still, fate had plans for them. Their lives kept intersecting, showing up in the same places at the same time, like the universe was nudging them together. Eventually, they listened. Numbers were exchanged, and on 9/13/15, they had their very first date.

Years of love followed and in 2021, Josh joined the Army and had to move across the country. The only way they could be together was to make it official. So, in true military fashion, Josh proposed in August, and they were legally married September 3rd of 2021—at the Cumberland County Correction Center (yes, really).

They planned a wedding for 2022, but duty called, and once again, they had to wait.

Now, after years of growth, sacrifice, and love—Josh and Haley are finally celebrating their dream wedding. It’s been a long time coming, and they wouldn’t change a thing.
