They matched on the dating apps, a new age love story with a twist. Alice had just moved to Cincinnati, to pursue nursing school. Joseph had just moved back home the previous year to prepare for Residency. Through many instances of push-and-pull, many challenges, all the struggle just brought these two closer together. After one month of chatting back and forth online, Alice and Joseph finally met in Downtown Cincinnati. Only Alice accidentally drove to Kentucky... Eventually she found the way to Joseph waiting for her in Downtown Cincinnati. Okay, carrying on with the story. Joseph was instantly captivated by Alice's huge smile and adorable laugh when she walked out of the car, laughing at her ridiculous geographical miscalculation. Alice was captivated by Joseph's humor and whit as her cheeks were sore from smiling and laughing for the whole first date. She could not remember the last time she had laughed this hard. The date lasted 12 hours. It felt as though they had known each other forever. Like spending the day with the best friend of a lifetime, only on their first meeting. They walked along the Levy, in Downtown Cincinnati. They took three hours to order Burgers at Yardhouse because they kept laughing and forgetting to look at the menu. They explored Jungle Jims. They built Ikea furniture. And they cooked dinner together. Their first adventure. They were instantly connected. They were instantly best friends. With a foundation of friendship and a growing connection so strong, Alice and Joseph became inseparable. They talked every day all day. Joseph asked Alice to be his girlfriend the day before the left for Missouri for a job opportunity (rude). Joseph's parents said "isn't she already your girlfriend" when Joseph shared the news. Almost the first year together apart Alice and Joseph's connection grew stronger. Hours on the phone, the beginning of the relationship was long distance. When Joseph moved back they decided "we are not doing that again" and Joseph and Alice moved together to Gallipolis, OH, when Joseph matched to residency. 6 months later Joseph got down on one knee and proposed to Alice on the balcony of their first apartment together. Overlooking the Ohio river, with their song "At My Worst" by Pink Sweat$ playing in the background.
