In early December of 2021, Joshua and Anastasia matched on an LDS dating app called Mutual. The couple had been talking for about a day when Joshua asked Anastasia on a date to attend a Christmas concert at Chandler Gilbert Community College. After a few more days of chatting, Anastasia agreed to go on the date. They met up for the first time at a Panera Bread for a quick dinner on December 8th, then headed over to the concert shortly after. Both Joshua and Anastasia had a great time and found they had a lot in common, from their big families, to their big hearts. Little did the couple know, it would be their last first date!❤️
