We met at a bar in Cary, North Carolina called The Parkway Tavern. I was a bartender and Justin was drinking bud lights with a friend as I was clocking in. Justin started coming to the bar before/after the gym and we quickly became friends.
On a family trip to Fort Macon, Justin took me to a beach access before dinner. We walked up a trail that led to the top of some sand dunes which overlooked the beach. He got down on one knee and I instantly started crying and explained "I'm such an ugly crier." He assured me I was not then he explained how much he loved me and then asked me to marry him. Without any hesitation I said yes to spending the rest of my life with my best friend.
On September 21st, 2023, we began our journey together at the Orange County Courthouse in Hillsborough, NC. With a small group of cherished loved ones, we exchanged vows and sealed our commitment. While our courthouse wedding was intimate, we missed celebrating with many of you. That's why we're excited to invite you to our grand wedding celebration on September 21st, 2024, where we'll finally get to share this special moment with all our friends and family.
