Joseph + Anne Catharine [engagement] Pike Road, Ala.

How did you two meet?
Anne Catharine: "We started dating when I was in tenth grade and Joseph was in eleventh. I remember him coming up to me in the lunch line and slowly talking to me more and more at school until he finally asked me to go see a concert with him for our first date."

How and when did Joseph propose?
Anne Catharine: "Joseph proposed two days before Christmas this past year. He told me to be dressed and ready for a nice dinner, but we ended up taking a detour to his farm on the way. When we pulled up to the farmhouse, I immediately started crying as I saw flowers on the front door and the inside decorated for Christmas. He quickly got on his knee and asked, and it was the sweetest moment with just the two of us! Afterwards, we celebrated with our families first and then celebrated more with friends throughout the night. It was the most perfect day!!!"

Joseph : "Our favorite place to go together is the farm. We also enjoy cooking together and trying new places to eat."
