We first met years ago at Sushi Axiom, where a simple friendship began without either of us knowing how God would use it one day. Life took us in different directions for a while, but God kept a gentle connection between us, even when we lived in different states and walked through very different seasons.
In time, both of us experienced personal growth and renewed our commitment to Christ. Through transformation, God opened our eyes to the purpose behind our long-standing friendship. What began as a casual connection slowly blossomed into a deep, steady love rooted in faith, trust, and God’s perfect timing.
Today, we are grateful for every step that brought us here. Our story is one of grace, redemption, and divine orchestration - a reminder that God writes the most beautiful chapters when we place our lives in His hands. We are excited to step into marriage, trusting Him to continue leading our hearts and our future.

Our honeymoon will take us to Indonesia, the country where Joe was born and where many of his earliest memories were formed. This trip is deeply personal—Joe is excited to show me the places he grew up, introduce me to his culture, and share a part of his story that shaped who he is today.
While we are there, we will also visit the elementary school Joe attended as a child. We plan to bring gifts and resources to bless the students and teachers, using this time not only to celebrate our marriage, but to give back in a meaningful way.
Any gifts toward our honeymoon will help support our travel, our time with family and community, and our desire to bless others along the way. Our hearts are to be Christ-like wherever we go—to love, to serve, and to leave people a little more encouraged than we found them.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your generosity means more than we can express.
With love and gratitude,
Alicia & Joe 🤍
