This made her realize that he was the one. “Honestly, I think if he would’ve texted me, I would’ve been more like, ‘Hey, dude, kind of get lost … I’m not really interested,” she added before explaining that there’s something about Stephen that “hit” her. Eventually, the pair got back together earlier this year and got engaged in June. They tied the knot on August 15 and had 500 guests.

“I think this too. Look if they would have gotten married just after Josh’s sentencing it would have been seen as damage control. The family has now some time and distance from the whole Josh situation. She also enrolled in college and is in nursing school.”
“Kinda agree with this! They look too comfortable with each other in the photos for them to not have been kissing and hugging and all the stuff prior to the wedding.”
“Yeah, I suspect the break up was a fake out. I wouldn’t be surprised if the family knew full well what was happening, but I think they didn’t want her publicly dating for years so made them hide it until it was almost at the marriage stage, hence “we broke up”.”
“I actually kinda agree with this. The photos where they were kissing tells me that it was not their first kiss and hug. They may have been intimate before the wedding.”
