We're getting married!

Justin and Jenny’s adventure began on a memorable Super Bowl Sunday, all thanks to a clever setup by Jenny's friend Hailey. Initially hesitant to attend Hailey's invitation to her “brother’s friend’s Super Bowl party”, Jenny took the plunge, unaware that this decision would change her life forever. The very next day, Justin sent Jenny a Facebook message inviting her out for drinks. Despite a tinge of cringe at the social media outreach, Jenny accepted, and their first date turned into a delightful adventure. Starting at a breakfast buffet, they spent hours talking and exploring multiple locations together. Just as they were getting to know each other, the world shifted with the onset of the pandemic. Instead of letting the circumstances derail their relationship, Jenny and Justin adapted, turning virtual happy hours and binge-watching “Tiger King” into moments of laughter and connection. They embraced cozy nights in, discovering new recipes and enjoying each other’s company. Over the years, they have balanced each other beautifully—Justin's passion for sports, politics, and history complemented Jenny's love for hosting, cooking, and wacky adventures. They embarked on a series of adventures that made life even more exciting. From becoming dog parents to their pug, Gus, to going scalloping every summer, their spontaneous weekend getaways became a cherished part of their relationship. Whether it was an impromptu road trip or exploring local attractions, each adventure was filled with unforgettable memories. After nearly four years together, Justin sought Jenny's parents' blessing by asking in Russian. At sunrise on Haleakalā, a mountain above the clouds in Hawaii, he asked Jenny to spend the rest of her life with him. Now, as they prepare to celebrate their wedding, they can’t help but reflect on how a simple Super Bowl party—and a slightly awkward Facebook message—led to unforgettable dates, navigating a pandemic together, and a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and the charming sound of a pug.
