Joshua and Andrea met in May 2023 at the West Coast Romanian Youth Conference in Bellevue, Washington. Josh's cousins and Andrea's cousins were friends and everyone hung out in one big group. It wasn't until one big dinner gathering in Olive Garden where Josh asked for Andrea's Instagram.

Josh went back home to Texas (a great number of 1,891 miles away and a 2 hour difference) and from there, they sent each other funny reels, then called to talk about books, and then finally videocall. They discovered they had such similar tastes in books, movies, and goals in life. They became such good friends and were constantly updating each other about their lives.

It wasn't until one evening when Josh asked Andrea on a first date when they realized they would like their relationship to be more than friends. A few weeks later Josh came back to Washington and the first date was a success. From there they continued their videocalls and watched their feelings blossom like buds in the spring and their faith in God grew together like sunflowers seeking the sun.

Fourteen months later from the first date, with the help of Andrea's aunt and cousin, Josh was able to plan a beautiful surprise proposal. It was more than anything Andrea could ever dream of. It was perfect. But, Sorina and Jenny have the funniest stories to tell on how setting up that day went.

Now Andrea and Josh look forward to closing that distance gap as they prepare to be married.

Colossians 3:14

But above all these things, put on love which is the bond of perfection.
