Their Story
Molly and Joe grew up just a few houses apart in College Park, but it wasn’t until 2.5 years ago that they finally met. Despite living in the same neighborhood, attending the same schools, and having mutual friends, they had never connected. That changed when they ran into each other at a gathering, laughing about how they’d grown up so close yet never really knew each other. The timing was perfect.
Cozy & Adventurous
Molly and Joe balance being homebodies and social butterflies perfectly. They enjoy cozy nights at home with a homemade meal by Joe and a movie, their favorite way to relax after a busy week. But they also love spending time with friends and family, whether it’s a night out or a casual BBQ.
One of their cherished traditions is taking a leisurely Saturday morning stroll to a nearby café for breakfast or to their favorite coffee shop for a delightful brew. It’s a simple yet meaningful ritual that they both adore. They also enjoy catching sports games at a local brewery, where they can indulge in tasty food, refreshing drinks, and a bit of friendly rivalry.
Molly and Joe share a love for travel, having visited Italy twice last year, with more adventures ahead. They mix quiet, cozy moments with exciting experiences, constantly making lasting memories together.
Cocktail Hour
The rooftop of Dr. Phillips Center was the perfect location for their city cocktail hour. Bartenders poured signature cocktails – like their favorite espresso martini with their initial sprinkled on top! Guests were black-tie, ready for an evening by candlelight in the DeVoss ballroom just below!
The Proposal
On August 19th, 2023, Joe proposed to Molly in the most meaningful way. He planned it on her parent’s dock in their backyard. It was such a personal and intimate moment, just the two of them, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the lake. They couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting for such an important moment in their lives. Afterward, they met their families for a big celebration at one of their favorite restaurants, Ravenous Pig. It was a day filled with joy and a memory they will cherish forever.
