I'm Getting Married!

Hello, there!

I'm Victoria and that man in the picture is my fiancé, Josh.

We are both quite the opposite pair in our likes and dislikes. Shoot, even some of our personalities are quite different. Josh is very into country music, the rustic scene, loves his guns and knives, and is extremely patriotic. Whereas I am into 30-50s music and classical, the 30-50s vintage aesthetic, I love being creative, and am very into singing hymns. He's an ambivert, meaning he can be either extraverted or introverted depending on whom he's around. I, on the other hand, am a big introvert.

We met online back in 2016 when we were both freshmen in college. We began dating soon after and have been growing in Christ and love since. Which brings us to now...ish.

On November 26, 2020, Thanksgiving Day, I was coming home to California with my mom, grandma, and one of my sisters from Kansas.

Some background on that... My parents got a house out there so that my mom and grandma could be close to my sister as she attends college there. Due to covid-19, my final class was held online so I was able to go be with them for that semester.

Anyway, we had been driving for two days straight for 10+ hours each day. We had finally made it home at 11:30 pm and boy was I grumpy.

When we parked the car lights suddenly lit up on our porch.

"Oh look, it's Josh," my mom said with sleepiness in her voice.

I got out of the car and went up to hug him looking like a wreck, mind you. My hair was in a messed up braid, hairs sticking out at every twist, and I didn't have the cutest of outfits on.

In our embrace I let him know that I am grumpy and he laughs.

"I've missed you. Victoria, you're my best friend, the love of my life, and I never want to be apart from you again."

He pushes me back, gets down on one knee and pulls out a lovely ring.

"Will you marry me?"

I was in utter disbelief of what had transpired before me and I began laughing and crying at the same time.

I asked if this was "for real" and he reassured me that it was. I really am engaged and it still boggles my mind. Needless to say, I was no longer grumpy after that!

Now, it's not the most elaborate story of an engagement, but it is our engagement story. I wouldn't have it any other way.

This isn't a long post, but it is my first time writing anything like this. So I bid you a farewell until next time!

Thanks for reading!

All my love,

Victoria
