Our Wedding

Dear family and friends,The story of Juliana and Joseph began long ago. They started out as very close friends for many years. Juliana decided to leave town and go pursue her college degree at SUNY Cortland while Joseph worked very hard right out of high school. After Juliana's first year of college her and Joseph reconnected at a fire department happy hour. The night was filled with a lot of laughs and fun times with friends and family. The two realized how much they had in common and decided to try and see where the relationship could go. They officially started dating May 28th, 2017.Long distance relationships are not easy, but they were able to make it work for another 3 years that Juliana had left of college. This made them so much stronger as a couple. After graduating college, Juliana started her career in teaching and Joseph continued to work as hard as possible. Joseph was so supportive of the process and was by Juliana's side through the entire experience.Joseph decided on January 24th, 2021, to ask his parents what they thought about the idea of him getting engaged to Juliana. His parents were so excited and couldn't wait to go ring shopping with their son. Joseph got the ring on February 10th, 2021 and went straight to ask Juliana's father for his permission to marry his daughter. Her father was in shock, but so excited for what was to come for them. Juliana's father and Joseph's parents kept the secret from everyone very well until March 23rd, 2021 when he finally proposed to her with their loved ones surrounding them.
