Justin and Brittney’s story began in 2010 at Gordon Food Service, though neither of them would have guessed then where life would take them. Brittney was friends with Gerald—Justin’s brother—through work and college, where they shared criminal justice classes. At the time, Brittney was not a fan of Justin. She was 21 years old & she thought he was cocky & arrogant. Fast forward to 2012. One night, a friend from work asked Brittney if she could pick up “Jay” before heading over to hang out. Brittney hesitated—Who is Jay? When the answer came back, “Justin from work,” she immediately regretted saying yes. Still, she followed through. That night changed everything. What Brittney expected to be a one-time hangout turned into something much more. They spent that evening together and, quite simply, never stopped. From that moment on, they chose each other—day after day, year after year. They officially began their journey together in 2012, moved into their first apartment in 2015, and welcomed their cat Oliver that same year. In 2018, they bought their first home, building a life filled with laughter, love, and shared dreams. In 2021, their family grew again with the addition of their dog, Theo. Through it all, Brittney’s love for Taylor Swift and Justin’s passion for sports became part of the rhythm of their everyday life—a balance of romance, loyalty, and teamwork. Fourteen years after that unexpected pickup, Brittney and Justin stand here today, knowing that what started as hesitation turned into a forever kind of love. As Taylor Swift would say, “It’s been a long time coming,” and they wouldn’t change a single moment of the journey that brought them here.
