Kathleen Myrick & Joel Adams
OUR STORY....
This is a love story we could not have scripted if we tried. An established classical singer and university professor meets a military veteran with history as a research analyst and as a senior scuba instructor.
Kathleen and Joel met May 10, 2018 in Key Largo, FL, when Kathleen was adding yet another adventure to her ever growing resume of travels and accolades. While taking specialized scuba courses under Joel’s instruction, the two developed a fast friendship that was destined to blossom into the beautiful relationship it has since become.
The two have a distinct appreciation for their time spent at the Fish House restaurant in Key Largo, which, coincidentally, is where they claim they had their first date on May 17, 2018. It is here that they spent many hours sharing stories and laughing endlessly as they got to know each other. While their time in Key Largo had to come to an end, they were determined to stay in touch. It wasn’t too long before Joel knew that she was his “Forever” girl.
Through texting, phone calls, and video chats, the two were unequivocally inseparable. Over the following ten months, Kathleen would travel to visit Joel in Key Largo, and Joel would travel to New Jersey to visit Kathleen. In early 2019 the back and forth had finally met its match. Joel was ready to transition to be with Kathleen. In March of 2019 Joel moved up to the northeast, convinced that there was no other option.
Ever since, the two have lived together in northeastern New Jersey. Kathleen continues to teach at New York University while Joel is pursuing his Doctoral degree in Communication.
The beautiful couple is set to wed in November of 2019 at an intimate beach wedding, and then, due to their school schedules, enjoy a honeymoon a week later. A reception is planned to be held in December/January in New York City for friends to come together and celebrate this joyous occasion.
As Kathleen and Joel are not ‘registered’ with any retailer, people have been asking how they can help celebrate. As Joel is working towards his PhD in Communication, and Kathleen continues to chip away at her student loans, we do not want to put ourselves into an abyss of debt. This GoFundMe page has been developed for people who have been impacted by Kathleen and Joel to show their support and be a part of this special moment in their lives. ANYTHING (no matter how small) you can contribute will help!!! If you can spread the word, it would be much appreciated!
