After meeting on the sound meditation retreat, Jordana revealed that she had a conversation with her heart, which told her,

"You know that man over there across the room, Josh? You're drawn to him."

He said that on the date night, he developed a "vulnerability hangover".

As per Times, Josh got emotional during the vow ceremony and told Jordana,

"I look into the infinity of your green eyes, I know that my not having gotten married until now was not due to some brokenness in me. The truth is, I didn't get married until now because I was waiting for you."

As per the New York Times, the wedding ceremony followed Jewish wedding traditions and was led by Jacob Azia, the couple's friend and Universal Life Church minister.
