Abby and Josh’s love story began in March 2023, thanks to a thoughtful introduction from a mutual friend and hairdresser. Abby was getting her hair done when the friend said, “You should meet my friend Josh.” Josh, newly single and best friends with her hairdresser’s husband, called a few days later, and their first date at Meso Maya, enjoying margaritas, was the perfect start. Just a week later, Josh invited Abby to a crawfish boil at his home, and by the following week, he asked her to be his girlfriend — and the rest is history.

From the beginning, Abby and Josh shared a unique connection. Both had never been married, didn’t feel pressured by societal expectations, and valued their careers, friends, and family. Their relationship wasn’t about necessity; it was a mutual discovery of love and companionship at the right time. They both realized during New Year’s 2023/24 in Belize that marriage was the next chapter they wanted to share together.

Their spring wedding at the Dallas Arboretum reflected the elegance and joy of their story. Set beneath a grand oak tree and lush floral arches by Andy’s Florals, Abby and Josh’s ceremony was intimate yet vibrant, capturing heartfelt vows and candid moments with loved ones. Guests celebrated with laughter during cocktail hour, while the reception was filled with dancing, toasts, and joyful first dances. From the couple’s private moments beneath the floral arch to their grand exit surrounded by ribbon-waving guests, every detail highlighted the beauty of a spring wedding in Dallas.

Abby and Josh’s journey — from a lucky introduction to a magical Arboretum celebration — is a testament to love found on your own timeline, proving that patience, shared values, and joy can create the perfect foundation for a lifetime together.
