It all started with a little Instagram magic. I liked three of Joshua's photos, and apparently, that was the universal green light for him to shoot his shot with a DM. From there, Joshua tried to—several times—to set up our first date, but being the workaholic I was, my schedule was a fortress.

Finally, one Sunday, the stars aligned, and we met at a little college hole-in-the-wall bar called Buffalo Phil’s. I showed up an hour late (fashionably, of course), and to my surprise, Joshua was still there, patiently waiting. I did suspect he stayed just to make sure I wasn’t a catfish! I honestly thought I’d never hear from him again, but after a few Philibusters (and maybe my charm), I must have made a decent impression.

Fast forward to today, and we’re thrilled to celebrate the next chapter of our story with all of you in beautiful Oahu on August 28th, 2025!
