John and Joslin have been acquaintances since high school, but their relationship only started to develop after they had both graduated. Despite Joslin's initial hesitations, marked by her stubbornness, everything changed during Christmas of 2021 when she decided to give John a chance. This pivotal decision was the beginning of their forever. The first two years of their relationship were challenging due to the long distance, resulting in only eight weeks spent together during that period. However, they both agree that these challenges only strengthened their bond.
In January 2023, John proposed to Joslin in a heartfelt moment at her family’s barn in Virginia, with her beloved dog Diesel playing a part in the proposal. Although not everything went smoothly due to Diesel's aversion to pigs, Joslin joyfully accepted John's proposal, marking the official start of their lifelong journey.
By December 2023, they chose to elope in an intimate ceremony with immediate family in the charming town of Onnancock. This was followed by settling into their first home together in April 2024, where they welcomed their first four-legged family member.
Since then, John and Joslin have continued to grow both individually and as a couple, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to celebrate their union with all their loved ones. Their story is a testament to enduring love and the beautiful journey two people can embark upon together.
