Our first date was on August 27, 2021 with record breaking heat in Rhode Island. So hot, that the majority of beer taps at The Thirsty Beaver were too warm to serve. We should have known that was going to be the start of an ever lasting love story...heat, sweat, and rats out by the dumpster where we had our first kiss. . . . Fast forward to to April 2023, we decided it was time to combine homes. We became a house of 2 adults-ish, 1 mini-Justyn (Leo), 1 doggo and 3 cats. North Providence became our home. We enjoy deck nights with cocktails and tiki torches, family walks around our local neighborhoods, soccer practice in the backyard and most importantly, more space for Emily's tchotchkes. . . . September 20, 2024 Justyn got Emily all dressed up to head out into a driving rain storm for a surprise date to include a private lighthouse tour. Spoiler alert, it was all a ruse! Little did Emily know, Justyn's masterful proposal plan was underway. With our families hiding in a dilapidated fort and a disguised photographer, Justyn popped the question (after yelling 'Emily' 3 or so times over the wind and rain). It was a magical day full of love and family. We are now beyond excited that one year later to the day we will be able to celebrate with everyone we love!
