Attire: Semi-Formal

Our Wedding

Josh and Rachel met at Cedarville University where Josh was studying Nursing and Rachel was studying Biblical Studies. While working as RA’s together during their junior year, Josh and Rachel noticed they enjoyed each other's company. As the semester progressed, their good friends Matt and Chloe saw potential for a relationship to form, so they gave them a nudge by setting them up to go on a double date with them. After an incredibly successful double date, Josh asked Rachel if she would be willing to go on a date with him, to which she said yes. After going on a few dates, Josh and Rachel decided to start dating officially, and the rest is history.&nbsp; After growing a lot in their relationship over the summer doing long distance, Josh and Rachel were reunited for their senior year at Cedarville and realized they had fallen in love. They began talking about marriage, and during the month of January, Josh pulled off an impressive surprise engagement.&nbsp; Josh and Rachel graduate from Cedarville in May 2025 and plan to live in Louisville, KY where Josh will work as a nurse at Baptist Health and Rachel will work as Assistant Manager of Retail Services at Southern Seminary. They both continue to have an interest in missions and are excited to serve the Lord together wherever that may be in the future!
