They were both in sixth grade. Their first time meeting was at a flashlight tag party. Nothing says love like running from the other person so they don’t catch you. 🙂 I’d say Chrisi was playing hard to get…wouldn’t you? They stayed friends until their junior year of high school…and then friends no longer. Josh asked Christi on a date and the rest is history.
High school sweethearts is what most people dream of, and they are living it! We first got to know Josh + Christi at their engagement session in Niceville, Florida. We met in a beautiful park in the spring. They warned us of how awkward they are during photos and that they have no idea what to do. Most people say that, but they were naturals. I mean, wait until you scroll down and see their portraits!
Some brides are stressed on their wedding days, but Christi was the most relaxed bride! She was up for any last-minute changes that needed to be made that would help the day go more smoothly. Whatever needed to be done, she was okay with, as long as she got to marry her man. When the time came for their first look, I’m not sure if my heart was beating faster, or hers. Josh was speechless. He just looked at her and had the sweetest smile when he saw his bride!
I could go on and on about their wedding day, but I will leave you with this: It is evident that God has clearly been the center of their relationship. And knowing that, they have a firm foundation for their future. We pray that you two find joy in this new season and remember that the Lord is your Hope. We love you guys!
