Joe and Noelle's first date was in 2019, at a coffee shop in Los Angeles. The coffee was bad and overpriced, and Joe looked like a "90s dad" according to Noelle, but the date went well enough that they decided to keep seeing each other.

While 2020 gifted the world a pandemic and other crises, Joe and Noelle's bond only grew stronger. They moved into their first apartment together, took their first big trip together (hiking and sightseeing in Utah) and survived meeting each other's families.

In 2021 they packed their bags and moved to beautiful Seattle, Washington—the first of many moves across the country together. They enjoyed discovering a city that would become one of their favorite places in the world, taking walks along the water and hunting down exquisite vegan pizza.

Next they moved to North Carolina in 2022, where they enjoyed better weather, more space, and plentiful Walmarts. It was harder to find vegan pizza, but they did find and adopt two cats that changed their lives forever.

With cats Mila and Leo in tow, Joe and Noelle made their final move to Cape Cod, MA last year. Somehow, they managed five years without killing each other, so why not try to make it a lifetime?

On a chilly beach in Provincetown, MA, Joe proposed to Noelle. It was a different world from the sunny beaches of Southern California where they met, but somehow felt more warm and magical—probably because she said yes.
