It was a fateful summer's afternoon in Navy Yard in 2019 when two strangers met and changed their worlds forever. Joe was with his friends on their way to a DC United game and Micaela was working the bar where the crew decided to meet before. When Joe walked in he immediately locked eyes with Micaela and it was as if they were the only two in the room. Prior to this moment neither believed in 'love at first sight' but there they were, lost in the moment. Shortly after, Joe took a job at the bar next store and occasionally the two would meet after work with friends for drinks. Eventually it was Micaela who made the first move, something she had never done before. Their first date was at Quarterdeck. A couple months after that they had their first trip together to NYC. And in March 2020 they decided to move in together. They enjoy each other's company so much that they decided to work together as well. Joe went to Peru and met the extended family. Micaela went to Ohio to do the same. Then in November 2023 Joe proposed to Micaela at the Constitution Gardens on the National Mall. It's fitting then that the pair decided to marry on the National Mall and have their reception at Navy Yard where it all began. But that was just the first marriage celebration that the couple would have. They cannot wait to make more memories and share their love, and hope you can be a part of that too in Peru!
