Our Wedding

How They Met

Robbi and Joel first met during their freshman year in 2020, right in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, in a virtual math class on Zoom. Despite the distance and digital setting, Joel stood out to Robbi and Robbi stood out to Joel; It was a divine connection. Their first conversation began when Joel messaged her asking for help with a math assignment. Robbi gladly helped, and what started as simple homework questions quickly grew into regular texts and phone calls. Their connection deepened through shared conversations, laughter, and aligned beliefs. Even in the middle of a global pandemic, through a screen, something real and meaningful formed between them—a bond that began with a math problem and turned into something much more.
