A love worth celebrating

Some love stories begin quietly, in the small moments no one else notices — a glance held a beat too long, a conversation that doesn't want to end. Ours began exactly like that.

Through adventures near and far, through ordinary Tuesdays and extraordinary sunsets, we have built something that feels both solid and wonderfully surprising. We chose each other, and we keep choosing each other.

On September 21st, 2026, surrounded by the people we love most, we will say the words that make it official — though in our hearts, it has been official for a long time.

We can't wait to share this day with you.

Evelina and Joshua together

A map of love

Two people. Two separate lives. One Texas summer that changed everything.

Evelina from Oregon. Joshua — originally from New Mexico, now calling Ohio home. They met in Texas, and now — together — they're heading to Florida.

"so wonderful to have a place that feels like coming home and people who love like family."
