Our journey began during our freshman year at UT Dallas, where fate had us both in the Computer Science Living-Learning Community. Sharing the same dorm floor, we quickly found one another through our mutual friends.

One unforgettable evening at a party hosted by a friend, Josh, who perhaps had a few too many drinks, found himself in a rather memorable (and rigged!) game of spin-the-bottle. Amidst the laughter and chaos, he shared an unexpected kiss with Victoria. And so, the story of us began!

We officially started dating on October 23, 2019. However, just a few months later, the pandemic brought a new challenge: long-distance. Despite the 363 miles of separation, we found ways to stay close—sending thoughtful gifts back and forth and enjoying countless movie nights together over FaceTime.

After navigating those trying times and finishing our degrees, Josh surprised Victoria with a heartfelt proposal just hours after our graduation ceremony. It was the perfect way to end to one chapter and begin our next adventure together.

We’re overjoyed to share our special day with you and to start this beautiful journey together surrounded by those we love!
