Josh and I met online in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We became fast friends upon discovering we were both born and raised in Thomaston, Georgia and decided to meet up after ensuring we were Covid-free.

Because Josh was a little older than me, I looked up to him and thought he was wise. He introduced me to new concepts like the Grateful Dead, the great state of Ohio, Flamin' Hot Fries, and saving money for retirement. In return, I taught Josh about highly caffeinated, sugar-free beverages.

Somehow, four years passed, and we decided it was time to get the government involved in our relationship. Josh asked me to marry him on July 4, 2024, and we look forward to a life full of love, saltwater fishing, and Georgia football games.

COVID-19 was one of the deadliest viruses in history and threatened and claimed the lives of many we hold near and dear to our hearts. But in all things, even a pandemic, God works for the good of those who love him. Would Josh and I have ever met if quaratine didn't make us crave companionship? Chances are, we'd still be shopping at the same grocery store and eating at the same Big Chic with no knowledge of the other's existence.
