We swiped right... and somehow that tiny little decision led to all of this! Our first date was on January 26, 2023 at Island Hideaway in Solomons Island, where Justin bravely ended the night with… a SIDE HUG. Romantic, right? A few dates (and a LOT of Harry Potter movies) later, he officially asked me to be his girlfriend on March 12, 2023. Since then, we’ve been on a wild ride together: we moved in together, welcomed the cutest mini Goldendoodle ever, Benelli, into our lives, and bought our first house in March 2025. Then, Justin proposed a few months later on July 3, 2025, at my favorite spot—the Outer Banks. Now we’re ready for the ultimate adventure: marriage! And we can’t wait to celebrate it with all of you because clearly, this love story deserves a good party.
