"To this day, Joyce & Jules still don’t understand how they met. Both vowed no long distance relationships and had strict perimeters on Hinge. It’s truly a miracle they actually saw each other’s profiles since the online dating scene is not for the faint of heart, they often deleted it. When they were “matched”, both assumed that their small towns of Lancaster & Groveton were within the range they set until a brunch date was made by Jules in Old Town Alexandria & Joyce suddenly realized she’s 2.5 hours away.
How many people can say their first date consisted of brunch, followed by a 50th anniversary hiphop celebration in DC?
While the rest is history, both Joyce & Jules jest that Hinge should reimburse them for all the fuel & vehicle maintenance costs they incurred over the next year. Jules proposed to Joyce at Philadelphia Magic Gardens Nov 3, 2024, and a few weeks later, Joyce proposed to Jules by the fountain at Duke Gardens.
Joyce & Jule’s relationship is far from ordinary and they wanted a ring that was symbolic of this uniqueness. A custom ring by Verragio from Brent Miller was the perfect fit. Candice listened to our desires and was able to fulfill the goal effectively.
With their love for travel, a destination wedding in Europe is on their mind."

Congratulations to Joyce and Jules!
