Behold! The first photo ever taken together.

Josh and Kira met through one of Kira's best friends, Kaleigh. They crossed paths 2-3 times before Kira and Kaleigh headed to Spain for Fall 2017. Kira promised Josh a Facetime phone call but had yet to deliver when Josh decided to call on November 12, 2017.

As the story goes, the rest is history. From that moment forward, Josh and Kira traded numerous messages, snapchats, and dm's until she came home. Their first date was when Josh picked Kira up from the airport after Christmas break. Having gotten to know each other extremely well while apart, the two quickly fell in love. Many memories and milestones were celebrated at LMU. Following their time as undergrads, Josh and Kira got to enjoy post-graduate life in Los Angeles up until the pandemic.

Kira finished graduate school in the middle of the pandemic and moved to Georgia for her doctorate and a new job and so began long distance. From the East Coast and West Coast and everywhere in between, Josh and Kira did monthly visits and always talked about the future. That future became a reality when Josh moved to Georgia in August 2022.

The first week of October, Josh and Kira went to France to celebrate long-distance being done and Kira's 25th birthday. On October 6, 2022, Josh proposed in Annecy, France having planned this epic surprise.

Josh and Kira cannot wait for September 2024 and are very much looking forward to being done with school and entering married life!
