How they met

05•08•2019

Josh and Shelby met 17 years ago when his family moved to Evergreen. Josh was 8 and Shelby was 13. Little did they know, an annoying little brother and another one of his sister's friends, one day, would turn into their greatest love story.
 
Josh and Shelby reconnected in 2017 at his sister, Mary's wedding. Josh asked for her number, she politely replied with, "you can ask your sister for that." That night, Josh kissed Shelby on the forehead and their story began to unfold.
 
They continued on their own paths, separate, but in the same direction. Their lives kept intertwining. They kept up with each other through social media and community events, but December 2018, Josh made his move after Christmas Eve mass at the Farmhouse. Through the courage of a greeting to Shelby's brother-in -law, Brent, he went over and started conversation with her, eventually getting a hug and Shelby's number. Josh and Shelby made things official May 8, 2019.
 
They not only love eachother, but truly became each others best friend. Josh and Shelby have lived a lot of life over the past 2 years, from renovating a camper together, to many weekend adventures, brewery and winery tours, rambunctious nephew/neice sleepovers, to driving to the Florida Keys in a red convertible mustang, and a never ending house search, that finally ended! Their happiness, laughter, and memories are only just beginning.

How he proposed 

01•30•2021

For anyone that knows Josh, you know that Josh isn't a planner, but a fun fact, Josh first took Shelby to look at rings 3 months into dating. Although it was just for fun, it foreshadowed how serious of a commitment Josh and Shelby shared and the beautiful days to come. Josh and Shelby take many weekend adventures, sharing their passion of traveling-so Josh knew he wanted to encorporate traveling and adventures into the proposal. Shelby is hard to surprise because she plans for everything, so the best way to keep the proposal a surprise, was to keep the proposal intimate between the couple. Josh and Shelby had a weekend roadtrip to Chicago and Milwaukee planned at the end of January to visit Josh's best friend (&amp; bestman), Justin Yocabet ("Yoc"). Josh decided this roadtrip on a new adventure would be the perfect place to propose. Josh had a custom ring designed for Shelby and asked Shelby's brother-in-law, Brent, Shelby's parents, Josh's parents and his grandparents, for their blessing in their future marriage. Josh decided on a cute little town just north of Milwaukee called Cedarburg, Wisconsin. There was a beautiful natural waterfall in a park that had a cozy brewery located at the top of the falls to celebrate after Shelby, hopefully, said "yes!" Now although they had never been to Cedarburg, Wisconsin before, Josh had already envisioned taking a vacation to the Wisconsin Dells one day and planned to stop and show their children where daddy proposed to their mommy. Josh proposed at the foot of the waterfall, Shelby in tears still managed to squeak out "yeah!" Josh had succeeded with his surprise, so much that Shelby didn't even remember what her new fiancé had he even said when he asked. Following the proposal, they went to celebrate at the Rebellion Brewery for drinks and to call their loved ones and share the news!! They can both agree, so far, best day ever.
