We're Getting Married!

Tinder! After they both swiped right and got that exciting "it's a match!" pop up on their phones, Joseph started the conversation. He mentioned Tatiana's arrow tattoo on her wrist and then sent her a photo of his own arrow tattoo on his same forearm. They spoke for a couple of weeks and eventually Joseph asked Tatiana out on a date to go see a movie. She figured she would give this guy a chance since every other guy she met on there only wanted to meet up for drinks and this was an ACTUAL date! So they went to go see The Greatest Showman and as soon as the first breakout in song and dance started, Tatiana said to herself "this is the LAST tinder date I ever go on!" After the movie, Joseph apologized saying he didn't realize it was a musical and with a sigh of relief Tatiana said to herself, "ok we can continue this date". They sat for hours talking about their lives, dreams, goals, and aliens and they both just knew, they were really a true match!

On a gorgeous October Wednesday morning, Joseph woke Tatiana up with a cup of coffee in bed. He excitedly told her that he was taking her out to breakfast at their favorite spot "Biscuit Head" before their outdoor adventure that Joseph had planned for the day. While he was getting ready, Tatiana, who was still waking up, jokingly said to him "don't forget to pack the diamond!" Little did she know, it already was! They went to breakfast and Joseph was looking at his Citadel graduation ring and commented on how shiny it was that day. Tatiana again made another joking comment saying "must be nice to have a shiny ring!" After breakfast, they were on their way to the mountains for some exploring. They ended up at Bald Rock as their first stop which they've already explored once before. Joseph seemed to be a little more antsy than usual but Tatiana didn't think much of it. After sitting down and admiring the view for a few minutes, he asked her if she wanted him to ask some other people there if they would take their photo. She said no because they've already been there before and didn't want to bother anyone but instead would take Joseph's photo. So they wandered down a path they haven't explored before. Joseph asked Tatiana to take his photo, and then a video. While she was recording (and confused as to why he wanted her to video record him), he got down on one knee and asked "Will You Be Mine Forever?" Through all of her happy tears, Tatiana replied "Of Course!"
