Our Wedding

In the Summer of 2024, Joshua moved to Muskegon, Michigan, living with his older brother Marcus. In the Fall of 2024, Tia moved into a house just down the road with Joshua’s step-sister, Mia, and his now sister-in-law, Ashley—already beginning to sound like the start of a something special.With little knowledge of each other at first, Joshua and Tia were quietly being set up by the sisters. What began as a simple friendship slowly grew into something deeper.Quickly after meeting, the desire of getting to know more and more about each other grew. With a bit of hesitation, Tia found herself intrigued by Joshua. Joshua consistently made an effort to be wherever Tia was, never missing an opportunity to be with her.On February 23, 2025, they made it official. Families who had long suspected there was something more between them finally had their answer.Marriage was something that quickly became a topic of discussion and after a few short months, the future was impossible not to think about. They discussed endless possibilities of what their lives could look like together, each and every one sounding too good to be true. After waiting and praying for a direction towards the future, Joshua found an opportunity to pursue a career in air traffic control in Tulsa, Oklahoma, while Tia completed her final semesters of nursing in Muskegon.They were reminded that distance makes the heart grow fonder—and while this season of life was challenging, it was one they entered with determination, patience, and excitement, knowing the finish line was in sight. They trusted that the foundation which they had built their relationship on and their faith. They took every opportunity they could to visit.Fast forward to December 2025, when Joshua took Tia on what she believed was a simple sunrise walk—he proposed to her on the wintery beach of Lake Michigan, on a cold but quiet morning. Luckily for him, she said yes, and immediately they started planning.As Joshua returned to Oklahoma following the holidays, the two realized this chapter marked their final stretch apart, with forever just around the corner.Join them in celebrating this wonderful event in the place it all started on August 16, 2026.

Our Story

Tally,There wasn’t a question about who would be my Maid of Honor — Tally has always been my built‑in best friend and constant guide. As my older sister, she’s been a role model, a steady source of encouragement, and the person who knows me best. Her kindness, humor, and loyalty have shaped so many of my happiest moments. I feel lucky to have a sister that cheers me on in moments as big as this one as well as the little moments too.

When we welcomed Jos into the family, I trusted my brother’s choice — I just didn’t expect how lucky we’d all be. Jos has shown me the true meaning of sisterhood and friendship: she’s fun, dependable. Her warmth and easy laugh have become a family favorite, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side as a bridesmaid.

Grace — Bridesmaid Grace is a relationship I’m so blessed to have. We became best friends in middle school and haven’t left each other’s side since. Summers at her pool with our other two best friends and years of soccer created so many sweet memories. She is kind, reliable, and accountable — a person I can always count on. No matter the distance or time apart, Grace is a lifelong friend, and I’m so grateful to have her standing with me.

Abby and I have been best friends since third grade, brought together by soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Growing up, we spent countless hours on the field and court—pushing each other, competing, and becoming who we are today. Abby brings laughter to every room but is also the person I can turn to for real, honest conversation. Her loyalty is what I admire most; I know she’s not going anywhere. She’s pure light and always a fun time. I’ve known since we were kids that she’d be standing by my side on a day like this.

Anna is a friendship I’ve always treasured. We clicked instantly in middle school and spent countless hours laughing on the court and field. She’s smart, confident, and someone I can rely on no matter the situation. I’m grateful for the goofy, honest bond we share. Alongside Abby and Grace, Anna has been there for every milestone—I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side.

Mia — Bridesmaid Mia is Joshua’s stepsister and Nate’s daughter. We met in 2022 playing soccer at MCC; her quick humor and playful spirit stood out from the start. In 2024 we became roommates—Ashley, Mia, and I shared the brown house while I started nursing school—and those months turned a fast friendship into something steady and true. Mia brings goofiness, warmth, and energy to every room; she’ll definitely be needed on the dance floor at our wedding. She’s shown unwavering support as both of her roommates married her step‑brothers, and her acceptance feels like family. I already felt like she was a sister, and now she truly is—an absolute blessing to Joshua and me.

Avery — Bridesmaid Avery is Joshua’s stepsister and Nate’s daughter. From the first time I met her, her warm, welcoming nature stood out. As the oldest, she’s easy to talk to, inclusive, and brings a calm, levelheaded presence to every gathering. She and Mia share a playful energy but also a strong sense of responsibility—always ready for fun while keeping things grounded. Joshua and I feel lucky to have her in our lives, and I’m so lucky to gain another older bonus sister in Avery. We’re grateful for her love and support we are blessed to have her standing with us on our wedding day.

Ashley is married to Marcus (Joshua’s older brother), which makes her family by choice and my sister‑in‑law. From the start she felt like someone I’d known forever: honest, thoughtful, and delightfully goofy. We share so many interests and often fall into long, meaningful conversations; she’s warm and welcoming to everyone she meets. I can bring her anywhere and she’ll make the most of it while making new friends—always down for an adventure. I’m grateful to have so many sisters who bless my life in different ways, and Ashley is such a bright, steady presence.
