Joseph and Brooke met multiple times in the Reading Hospital ER without having an "actual" conversation. Unbeknownst to them, their best friends were dating each other at the time, and well, guess who got set-up after meeting at a bar one day ;). Brooke accidentally ignored Joe's Instagram message for about 2 weeks before she was told to check it and go out on a date with him.

The rest was history!

After managing the difficulties of living an hour away from one another for about 2 years, to finally moving in together, everything worked out beautifully. Especially when Joe got Brooke their first cat, Buddy (that won him major brownie points).

They bought their first home in September 2023 and have been working on elevating it ever since! They have also added two cats, Blue and Penelope, into their little family.

Joe proposed to Brooke on November 1st, 2025 at Brecknock Orchard, surrounded by friends and beautiful fall foliage like she has always imagined (he had a great accomplice, her best friend Sam). Now, they cannot wait to start the rest of their lives together and all the blessings that will come their way!
