Our Story
It’s funny how some love stories begin long before you realize it…
Ours started quietly in the same town, just down the road from one another, long before we ever really knew.
We grew up half a mile apart, the same neighborhood, the same high school. Always so close, yet living separate stories. Looking back now, it’s hard to believe how many times we must have crossed paths without knowing how much we would one day mean to each other.
Our story truly began in 2018 when we matched on a dating app (of all places for it to finally begin). From that first conversation, it was instant sparks. An immediate pull to learn everything about each other, to talk all day, every day. It didn’t take long before we both knew this was something special, something real.
Since then, we’ve been through so much together. From starting out long distance to spending nearly every day side by side during COVID, to adopting our sweet Ollie who’s brought endless joy and personality into our lives. There were more stretches of distance after that, but eventually we found our place together in Tennessee. A chapter that’s easily been our favorite yet, and worth every mile it took to get here.
Seven years later, Joseph proposed at our favorite place, a quiet spot on Watauga Lake surrounded by mountains and the kind of beauty that makes you pause and take it in. It was windy, intimate, and perfectly us, just the two of us and Ollie, our little family.
Now we can’t wait to celebrate with the people we love most beneath the tall pines at Brentwood Farms. Strong, flexible, and steady through every season, they’re a quiet reminder of the kind of marriage we hope to build: one that lasts, bends with the wind, and keeps growing for years and years to come.
