Joy Proposal Story: David & Jingjing

by Cali Pitchel

How did the two of you meet?

We met in law school!

How long have you been together?

2 years and 7 months!

Give us the proposal details! When? Where? How?

On Sunday , July 31, I brought Jingjing to the Lincoln Center where we had our first date in New York.  I pretended that we were taking pictures before going to brunch. When we reached the fountain in the courtyard, I started to propose to Jingjing and once she realized what was going on, she started laughing so hard she did not hear any of my proposal!
Joy is a state of being, and being with the love of your life is going to bring laughter and tears, happiness and sadness, but ultimately the love that bounds two people together creates a foundation, that is joy.
Finally, she stopped laughing long enough for me to ask the question, and she quickly said “yes.” As I was putting the ring on her finger, her best friend came out crying and running up to Jingjing. They hugged and cried all the way to brunch!

What has been your favorite experience planning the wedding?

Looking at venues has been a lot of fun, but Jingjing has also enjoyed “Pinteresting”. It’s pretty amazing how many wedding blogs and services there are!

How do you stay sane under the pressures of wedding planning?

Cuddling! When Jingjing gets stressed over wedding planning, I make her laugh by reenacting our proposal and telling her cheesy jokes.

What is your favorite part of using Joy for your wedding?

It is super easy to use, but also beautiful and elegant!
 

What piece of advice would you give couples to ensure that they use Joy to its fullest potential?

Explore the different options on Joy and don’t worry about having things perfect, it’s all about the process!
 

At Joy we believe that even though a wedding lasts a day, joy lasts forever. What does that mean to you?

A wedding is an event filled with laughter and happiness, but those are temporary expressions and emotions. On the other hand, joy is a state of being, and being with the love of your life is going to bring laughter and tears, happiness and sadness, but ultimately the love that bounds two people together creates a foundation, that is joy. With Joy, we can get through anything.
