The Wedding

Our Wedding

Sometimes love finds you when you least expect it — or in our case, through a dating app. Our first date was at Habaneros in Grandview Heights, which quickly became “our place.” Whether it was dinner out or takeout on the couch, it became a part of our weekly routine and a place that always felt like home. After that first date in June 2024, it didn’t take long for things to fall into place. By July 22, 2024, during a casual night in, Josh asked Aspen to be his girlfriend — no big production, just the two of us, perfectly us. On October 10th, 2025, Josh told Aspen they were celebrating her birthday a little late. He planned a trip to Rockside Winery &amp; Vineyards, where, in the 12th row of the vines, a blanket, flowers, a charcuterie board, and a personalized bottle of wine were waiting. There, surrounded by love and laughter, Josh got down on one knee and proposed. The celebrations continued that night at Martini’s — one of their favorite spots downtown — and the next day with a surprise party full of family and friends. God had been working behind the scenes for years. Both Aspen and Josh attended Ohio University, graduated the same year, and even crossed paths at the same places without ever meeting. It wasn’t until years later that life (and a dating app) decided it was finally time. Now, their two labs — Oakley and Saudi — are the best of friends, and together they make the perfect little family.

FAQs

Formal Black Tie

We’re so excited to celebrate this special evening with all of our favorite people, and we’d love for the night to feel elegant and festive. Our celebration will be formal black tie, which simply means we invite guests to dress in formal evening attire. For the gentlemen:A tuxedo is wonderful, but a dark suit/three-piece suit and tie (or bowtie) will fit right in. Black/dark colored shoes or highly polished oxfords are encouraged. For the ladies:A floor-length gown or dress is perfect. Don't be afraid to wear something with color!The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors on grass. We recommend footwear suitable for grassy terrain, as conditions may vary with the weather. Think timeless, polished, and ready to celebrate — when in doubt, a little extra sparkle or a sharp jacket never hurts!
