Our Wedding

Postponement

Josh and Hannah decided to postpone their wedding celebrations due to COVID-19 and concerns for the health and safety of their family and friends.&nbsp;

They were married on June 13th as planned in a small, private ceremony with their parents and bridal party.&nbsp;

Josh and Hannah's wedding reception was rescheduled for November 14, 2020.

Hannah and I first met at a coffee shop at the Hospital we both worked at.&nbsp; I was waiting on my order when she arrived with a friend.&nbsp; I recognized her from seeing her around a few mutual friends, so I decided to introduce myself.&nbsp; I did so, confidently I may add, and she immediately shut down the conversation and walked away.



Fast forward six months, and we were both at a happy hour mixer hosted by the hospital.&nbsp; I over heard Hannah talking about her trip and how she had visited some of the places Game of Thrones was filmed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our friend Nicole invited me over to the table and the this time, Hannah did not give me the cold shoulder.&nbsp; 

 



I spent the next few weeks inquiring after Hannah through our mutual friends, making sure she was single, interested in dating, etc.&nbsp; One day our friend Shelly told me that she and Hannah were grabbing lunch that day, and that I should stop by.&nbsp; Hannah and I chatted once again, and I sent her a message later that day asking her on a date.&nbsp; 

 



We went out on July 2nd, and we have been together since.

How we met | As told by Josh

Josh proposed while we were on a vacation to St. Lucia that I had won on the radio. He had spent months planting seeds of doubt in my mind that he would not propose. The final seed was planted mere days before our trip&hellip; while playing a game with friends, Josh put forth a truth and a lie (the game was to pick out the truth), and his lie was: “I bought Hannah an engagement ring.” 

 



 

It was the day before April Fool’s Day (the day I thought he would propose if he did at all) and we were getting ready for our dinner reservations at a Hibachi restaurant. We had spent the day on the beach, so I was covered in salt and sand and I was most definitely not pretty. Josh got down on one knee and pulled out the most perfect ring with yellow sapphires. I didn’t technically say “yes” but the ring landed on my finger.

 



 

Josh had apparently had the ring for months. Regarding Josh’s lie from the week before, technically, he hadn’t bought me “an engagement ring,” he purchased two! Josh couldn’t choose and bought two rings to decide later.
