Justin and Ireland met back in March of 2022. Their first date was at Red Robin! They knew without a doubt that they were meant for each other from the start. The first part of their relationship was maintained through long distance phone calls and letters, as Ireland was on an overseas deployment. While they were separated, they each wore promise rings that symbolized their love and commitment to each other. Justin proposed on June 8th, 2024 at the Astoria Column in Oregon. They had gone on vacation there the previous year and the column was a highlight of their trip. They cannot wait to begin their lives together, and are beyond grateful for each and every one of you being here to show your love and support along the way.
