Our Wedding

In December of 2019, Jude and Josie first met on a church youth group trip to New York City. The trip was cold but thrilling, with the city streets bustling with holiday lights and energy. Jude was struck by Josie’s warmth and enthusiasm, even as she bundled up in layers against the chilly winds, and Josie found herself laughing at Jude’s quiet, understated humor. They bonded over sightseeing and ramen, but after the trip, their lives went separate ways, and they lost touch. Fast forward to 2023, and Josie was in her third year of medical school, balancing her studies with dreams of the future. One day, while chatting with a close friend, she casually mentioned Jude. “He was sooo cute,” she said with a smile, recalling their time together in New York. Her friend, who knew Jude, immediately took action and passed Josie’s contact information along to him on Sunday night, hoping to reconnect the two. Jude, though, was nervous. He remembered Josie well but wasn’t sure how to start the conversation after all those years. It took him three days of deliberation before he finally texted her, simply saying, “Hey, remember me? The tall, goofy guy with the curly hair?” When Josie saw his message, smiled, and replied. (After texting her best friend for advice and waiting at least 30 minutes to not seem too eager) Their first date was planned for a random Tuesday night at a lively line-dancing restaurant in Nashville, a fun and unexpected choice. They laughed at their awkward attempts to keep up with the steps and enjoyed the playful atmosphere. After dancing, they found a cozy ice cream shop nearby, where they sat for hours, catching up on everything that had happened since their New York trip. That night set the tone for their relationship—easygoing, filled with laughter, and full of connection. From then on, nearly every Saturday was theirs—hiking, grabbing dinner, or just hanging out. As Josie prepares to begin her pediatric residency, they’re both excited to finally close the long-distance chapter of their relationship. Now, they look forward to the new adventure ahead—wherever residency takes them.
