Josh and Brandon began dating at the beginning of 2012 and had their first date at a bowling alley. They both quickly realized that neither of them is very good at bowling and Josh says they had a “rom-com worthy conversation” in the midst of gutter ball after gutter ball. They even attracted the attention of a family bowling the lane over who tsk-tsked all of these gutter balls and gave both Josh and Brandon a full-on tutorial on how to properly bowl. Rest assured, this tutorial didn’t really excel their ability.

These two would drive across the state of New Hampshire for years to see each other until they finally took the plunge and moved in with each other. Josh says, “We still go bowling, but now with our friends and families, who have welcomed and supported us throughout our relationship. And we’re both wicked grateful to this circle of friends and family for sharing their love and helping ours to grow.”
