Our story began in 2021 with a bold Instagram DM sent across 6,500 miles. What started as a simple message quickly became something neither of us expected. Despite a six‑hour time difference, we talked every single day — sharing stories, building inside jokes, and discovering how natural it felt to be ourselves with one another. Somewhere between the laughter and the late‑night conversations, a real connection began to grow.

Four months later, we finally met in person, but our journey was still very much shaped by distance. From 2021 to 2025, we navigated a long‑distance relationship spanning the US and the UK — learning patience, trust, and how to love intentionally across oceans. We counted down visits, cherished airport reunions, and made the most of every moment together. Distance challenged us, but it also strengthened us, teaching us how to choose each other even when being together wasn't easy.

Six years on, that first message has grown into a life filled with love, adventure, and memories made across four continents. Through every trip, every goodbye, and every joyful reunion, we've built something steady, deep, and lasting. We're so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our story with the people who have supported us along the way. Join us in Malta as we say "I do." We did it, Joe!
