Our Wedding

Jacquelines Side: Josh and I met in 2020. One of my best friends, Michaela and I went on girls trip to visit Kat in Bowling Green after being stuck in the house for months due to COVID. Kat set us up on dates! Josh and I were suppose to go on a date, but it got switched for me to go with someone else. After interacting with josh a few times, I knew I wanted to get to know him more. Our first date was a 50 out of 10! I love how conversation naturally flowed. His deep relationship with God, incredible building skills, kindness, heart to help those less fortunate, and beautiful green eyes ldrew me in. We kept in contact on and off for the next two years, but it took time for God to make it clear to Josh and I that we were ready for more than friendship with one another. March 2022, Josh texted me and asked for us to speak on the phone. He was coming into town to help Lexi move to Virginia, and wanted to spend time together. I was nervous and excited, I had not seen him in years! Our time was special, and I knew I liked him! A few months later, we started dating, and a few months after, I knew he was the one for me. Our dating relationship was filled with laughing, learning about one another, communicating and processing differences, building trust and safety, several flights back and forth between Kentucky and Virginia, and many I love yous. Joshuas Side: 2020 was a rough year. Amidst covid, several of us were joining a virtual conference (since a physical one wasnt possible). Initially, I was bummed to not be able to travel for a conference. In hindsight, Im really glad I was stuck in town. At that same time, Jackie was coming into town for a girls trip. A mutual friend set us up on a blind date (which got switched around several times). Once we finally got to go out we talked for HOURS, through the date, afterward while hanging out with people in Bowling Green, and through dinner. I loved learning about Jackies family, dreams, and life goals. Unfortunately, I was not in a place to start dating, so we parted ways but stayed in contact off and on. Fast forward 2 years and I reached out to Jackie to spend some time together. After visiting Virginia Beach we spoke on the phone several times and set up a few Skype dates. Things moved slowly being that we were getting to know each other long distance, but eventually, I decided to formally ask her to be my girlfriend. On May 22nd, 2022 she said yes. Then, on May 22nd, 2023 she said yes again, this time to being my wife :)
