It all started at a Christmas party, where Rheanna made the first move (a fact she will never let him forget). But from that moment on, the tables turned—Joe spent the next few months trying to convince her to go on a date. Eventually, she caved, and let’s just say… she hasn’t regretted it. From farm days to movie nights, cooking experiments (some more successful than others), and spending time with the people we love, life together has been nothing short of an adventure.

Then came long-distance. Rheanna moved to Virginia for law school, while Joe stayed in Arkansas, turning us into professional FaceTimers and frequent travelers. But if absence makes the heart grow fonder, consider us totally smitten. Now, after lots of love, laughter, and way too many "I miss yous," we’re finally making it official—and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
