Love Story Timeline

When We Met

November 12, 2012

Dallas, Texas- Joseph and Aby attended their Church's Youth Day/Baccalaureate. He noticed a girl who he thought was cute. So he decided to bring up enough courage to speak to her, because this may be the only time and perhaps the last time he would see her. Aby was standing on the side when Joseph came up to introduce himself. They spoke about education and their plans for the future then departed their separate ways until they found themselves lining up yet again this time for a group photo. Joseph managed to sneak his way to the front of the group photo, standing next to Aby, and towering above everyone else around him. He stuck out like a sore thumb, but didn't care because he just wanted to stand next to her. This was the last time they spoke that day.

Made it Official

June 30, 2013

Houston, Texas- Joseph and Aby reconnected online through various messages through Facebook, which turned into late night phone calls, then daily video chats. Having not physically seen each other for over 6 months, Joseph found an opportunity to visit Aby and make it official!

Engagement

November 12, 2019

Joseph had been planning a surprise engagement for months. Aby is incredibly difficult to surprise so pulling off this engagement was going to be a challenge. Weeks before the engagement, Aby was told that her sister Jade would be receiving a special reward at the company party at the Westin. Little did she know, or maybe she did know, Joseph and their families were waiting to reveal the big surprise.
