Short answer: Tinder Justine’s sister lived in Tucson, AZ due to the military. In February of 2022, Justine and her parents went to visit her sister for a small vacation. While there, Justine had swiped on Darin’s profile. Darin saw it a few days later and when they matched she got the infamous “Heyyy.” (Quite the charmer 😉) She got this message as she was getting on her plane back to Montana. They hit it off immediately and started making plans to meet when she would be back in AZ for a country festival in April. After 1.5 months of talking and FaceTiming they got to meet in person. Their first official date was seeing Morgan Wallen in concert, which is Justine's favorite artist. The beginning wasn't easy as they spent their first year in a long distance relationship, and 5 months of that in a transatlantic relationship while he was deployed.
