It all began in 2022, when two people swiped right on Hinge—the dating app that’s designed to be deleted. Little did we know, this seemingly small decision would lead to a lifetime of love, adventure, and a couple of very spoiled cats.

In the early days, we were just getting to know each other, but there was something special about our connection. We quickly realized we had a lot in common—our love for adventure, trying new things, and, of course, our shared sense of humor. We spent hours chatting, laughing, and learning more about each other.

It didn’t take long for us to fall in love. Less than a year into our relationship, we made the decision to take the next step—moving in together. We knew it was a big leap, but with every moment we spent together, it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Our bond grew stronger with each passing day, and together, we built a life filled with love, laughter, and little moments that meant the world.

Shortly after settling into our new life together, we decided to adopt two adorable kittens—Poppy and Branch. It was love at first sight, and we knew they would be the perfect addition to our little family. Whether they’re playing, cuddling, or getting into mischief, Poppy and Branch have brought so much joy into our home. They’ve become an inseparable part of our lives, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

In the fall of 2023, after spending a year and a half together, Joshua took me by surprise with a proposal that was perfect in every way. In a quiet forest around Ann Arbor, he asked me to be his forever. Of course, I said yes, knowing that he was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

As if that wasn’t enough excitement, in April 2024, we reached another milestone—purchasing our first home. It was a huge step, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to start this new chapter together. Our house is now a place where we’ll make countless memories, a place where we’ll continue to build our life side by side.

Now, as we approach our wedding day we reflect on everything we’ve been through together—the love, the laughter, the adventures, and the lessons learned along the way. Our journey has been nothing short of amazing, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds as we step into this next chapter as husband and wife.

We’re so excited to share this special day with our friends and family, and to celebrate the love that brought us together and will keep us going for a lifetime. Here's to love, laughter, and a lifetime of happiness!
