Joy Proposal Story: Christina & Andy

by Cali Pitchel

Andy and Christina met in NYC working on a TV pilot together. They’ve been together for just over six years, and after a picture-perfect beach-side proposal, they’re planning their wedding!

Tell us the proposal details!

Andy surprised me with the trip and we had a romantic get-a-way. We were on the balcony of a beach home right on the ocean as the waves were crashing and while the sun was setting. It felt like we were the only two people who existed on earth for the few days.

We encourage each other to grow and be our best selves every day. In sharing this with one another we will find Joy for the rest of our lives.

It was perfect.

What’s been your favorite part of wedding planning so far?

So far it has been amazing. We know we’re going to have a Destination Wedding so planning for our Dream Wedding in Paradise has been so exciting. I also really enjoyed going dress shopping for the first time with my immediate family. I’ll always remember that day.

How do you stay sane during wedding planning?

I stay sane while planning the wedding because most importantly we allowed ourselves the time to plan. We’ve allowed ourselves just over a year to get everything just how we want it. The smartest decision I think we’ve made so far was to not rush through our beautiful engagement!

What advice would you give to other couples using Joy to make the most out of it?

I encourage couples who decide to use Joy to watch the instructional videos and read through everything in the help section.

Weddings last a day, but joy lasts forever. What does that mean to you?

It’s important to remember why you are getting married. It’s not about the flashy wedding and amazing honeymoon. (Although you should definitely have fun with all of that!) I’m getting married because I found the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with—my best friend, my business partner, and my number one fan.

We encourage each other to grow and be our best selves every day. In sharing this with one another we will find Joy for the rest of our lives.
