It wasnt until years later that they reconnected on social media.
I liked an old photo of Joes on Instagram and he DMed me right away, she remembers.
Our first date was on a sailboat, where Joe was living at the time.

After five years of dating, Joe started planning an elaborate proposal in Ireland in the spring of 2023.
He found a park in Chicago that had cherry blossoms in bloom and proposed there.
For the proposal, Joe made sure to include the whole Foxx clan.
It was a small celebration, but it was so intimate and meaningful.
It was never a question.
We always knew wed get married in my dads backyard, the bride says.
He has the most gorgeous property.
It already looks like a wedding venue.
We couldnt think of anywhere more special than a home wedding.
It just felt right.
The home is very special to the whole family, and it felt like a no-brainer.
Luckily, one of the hardest parts was already done: finding a venue.
When we watched videos of The Midnight Special, I knew they were up to par.
I didnt want anything that felt too rigid or formal.
I knew I wanted something that had a playful element to it, while still being classic.
That is when I brought in my stylists, Dani & Emma, to help with final touches.
[At that point,] we just said, Who cares?!
We went with what we liked, instead of trying to tell a fashion story.
