We eloped!

Passionate, kind, caring, calming, and loving beyond imagination. Brittany couldn't have a nicer spirit and I'm thankful I get to call her my wife. The woman deserves a medal for putting up with me. True love is finding someone who can put up with your shit, and in her I've found that love. Whether it's working together, or relaxing together, I'm always safe with her. She's my partner in crime as we travel the country, hand in hand. I love everything I do with her from the grocery shopping to road trips around the country. Plus she thinks I can cook, so I think shes stuck with me out of necessity 😘😀 ❤❤❤❤

I've never met anyone as generous and giving as Justin. He's always made sure I don't want for anything, whether it's a pair of shoes, a dress or a particular snack or type of food. More often than not, I'm the one who pulls him away from the store when I go shopping for clothes. lol There's no end to his patience with me either. From guiding me through how to run a business to working with me when something gets messed up, at home or work, I always know he'll have a suggestion or an idea to make things right. I still can't imagine what drew him to me, but he's just always had a way of making me feel like I'm special, like I matter. When I think of home, I don't think of a place - I think of him. ❤

Brittany - Despite being absolutely positive that I'd never get any kind of response from a guy this hot, I just had to swipe right on Justin - it was the hair. And when he responded to my message, I have to say I was incredibly surprised by how easily the conversation came. From those first tentative messages to this day, I've never been more comfortable with another person, and at once so much more and so much less self-conscious. I'm 100% myself with Justin, in a way that I can honestly say I never really was before. Justin - Owe my the love of my life to a 50/50 shot on a dating app recommended by a friend. Saw this girl and though, "Man she takes terrible photos." But I thought, she's gotta be pretty, and wow was she. Swiping right turned out to best the best decision of my life. I love you honey. Always and forever.

Justin - I was late, really late. Work held me up and this beautiful woman I'd never met, just kept telling me not to worry, and that she'd still be there for me when I could see her. Looking back, I see the woman I love shining through in the earliest of moments together. I still never imagined I was on my way to meet my future wife, but when I finally showed up hours late, she was patiently waiting - sweet as ever. Brittany - I was so excited and so worried to be going on a first date again. All day, it was in the back of my mind that someone that good looking would never look my way - I was being catfished, or I would get stood up. But somehow, his apologies when the time came and he was running late soothed my worries and calmed my anxieties. As apologetic as Justin was, the least I could do was get us a table and hold down the fort - for whatever reason, this god of a man really wanted to meet me and was really upset that he was running late.

We’d been talking about our engagement, both as a hypothetical and a reality, for six months or so and had it all planned out. We were going on a road trip for our anniversary, up through Flagstaff and over into New Mexico to Albuquerque, then down through Carlsbad and up through Tucson. All together, we’d planned for three days and were coming back home the day before our anniversary - which was when we were planning to pick up my ring and surprise our families with the announcement. The first stop on our adventure was the ski lift in flagstaff - I’d never been on it and October is a fabulous time to see all the trees changing colors. I’d never even been up to the mountain and I was so excited. I think I spent the entire drive pointing out birch trees and probably annoyed the hell out of Justin the entire time. It was so cold at the top, I wasn’t expecting that and we didn’t stay long - we just wandered around for a little while and then got in line for the ride down. I was still in childish awe at all the scenery when Justin reached for my hand and said “Don’t you dare drop this” (at least, that's what I remember him saying ;D) and pushed a ring box into my hand. I think my eyes probably popped out of my head. It was the last thing I was expecting and I’d been looking forward to it for so long. I don’t know if I started laughing or crying first but I know I did both as I fumbled to put the ring on with my half-frozen fingers. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face for the rest of the trip.

To say it's been a rough year for us is an understatement. There seem to have been more downs than ups, and in the middle of one of those lows, we thought of this - Elopement. November 27th is a day on the calendar filled with many indescribable emotions, sometimes ones more fraught with loss than happiness. So we decided to own the day, seize the moment, and make it our own. Wedding Photos - Part One https://photos.app.goo.gl/2qFG9EhRXxXtUfXh6 🐱‍🚀🐱‍🚀
