Josiah and DeAnna met at a school group when they were 12 and 13. They had mutual friend groups for a couple years before hanging out together. Josiah asked DeAnna to be his girlfriend at a pumpkin patch in 2019 (they were 14/15). They chose to keep the same date to be married on 6 years later. Pumpkins are now their special thing!

They're engaged!! Josiah proposed at Grace Beach around 5pm. After the proposal, a nice lady took their photo and pointed out that they just got engaged next to a turtle nest! What a sweet memory

Both families. Josiah is the oldest of seven and DeAnna is the youngest of three...opposites attract!!

Celebrating their engagement in Illinois with extended family!

Engagement photos taken by a sweet friend! How we've grown up & grown together since 2019! A lot has happened through the years, but everything made us stronger people. I believe that this is what God meant by "love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never ends!''
