Justin and Brittany met in 2001, in their childhood neighborhood, Harborview, in Smithville, MO. At just 12 and 11, Justin was focused on soccer, Brittany on softball. Marriage was far from their minds. 2006, it was a hot summers day, Justin and Brittany accompanied mutual friends to the pool. He saw her, she saw him, he asked his friend, to ask her friend, if she'd want to hang out sometime (typical teenage move). They hung out a few times, he played guitar and sang "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls to her, she made him laugh (he made her shy), but as most High School relationships do, they came to an end. They would chat occasionally throughout the years, but Brittany was off at college and Justin was working that 9 to 5. Fast Forward to 2017, Brittany receives a message from an old high school flame. Said High School flame (it was Justin ;)) knows how to win Brittany's heart, with a big bowl of chips and salsa. And the rest is history.

On the 4th day of our Ireland adventure, we were exploring the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland, when we came across Dunmore Head, a promontory in the westernmost part of the Peninsula. Not only was the view spectacular, Dunmore Head was a filming location for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Being, somewhat, Star Wars fans and having dogs named Kenobi and Anakin, we felt it was mandatory that we hiked the 5 miles to the top. Once at the top, with Brittany's parents just behind, Justin got down on one knee and said, "since we're on this rock, I wanted to give you a rock." Of course, it was a YES! We cannot wait to get together with our closest family and friends and celebrate the better Brittany and Justin!
