Our Wedding

<p>Our story began in 2010 when we met online. We dated on and off over the years, learning from long-distance stretches, shared adventures, and countless dates. As time went on, it became clear that we were better together — Joe realized Stefanie was the missing piece in his life. In November 2025, while on a cruise with close friends, Joe proposed on a beach in Aruba. We’re so excited to celebrate our wedding with you on November 7, 2026, in Albany, Indiana, and to continue this next chapter surrounded by the people we love.</p>
