They started out as friends. They never imagined that they one day would be a thing! Ya see, they were both previously married. The thought of marriage was far from their thoughts. Their children loved each other first. They were already friends. It wasn't until one day a 8 year old said " Dad, why dont you take Carrie on a date! I mean, you already get along and I like her" Justin decided it wasn't particularly a bad idea. Justin asked Carrie on a hiking picnic and from there they were inseparable! Learning that their equally awkward and silly personalities blended well together. Learning that their opposite but equally humorous personalities just worked. He is the " up at 5am go getter" that motivates Carrie. Her " chill and take in the moment" reminds him to slow down. As they learned more about eachother they soon realized that they never wanted to go a day without the other.

When your loving friends ask you on a leisurely hike... and you love hiking.... you GO ♡ Well, we had no clue it would not only be one of the most memorable days but a painful day as well. They started their hike but soon realized it was a much longer hike than expected. It was approximately 30 degrees in New Hampshire. The waterfalls were amazing. And the view was like nothing imaginable. As they FINALLY reached the top they had hiked 7 miles. They sat and ate some lunch. Justin asked Carrie to go to the highest rock to look at the view. As Carrie turned around Justin was on one knee! Infront of many, many people and their 2 friends hiking with them Carrie said Yes! Their friends knew what Justin had planned. Neither Justin or Carrie knew that their friends hiked 7 miles with Champagne 🍾! They toasted and celebrated before hiking 5 more miles down the freezing cold mountain 🏔 🥶. With Carrie in pain because her knee was throbbing she didn't care! She was going to marry him. The him that makes her coffee each day. The him that leaves her love notes often. And the him that never stops showing her just how beautiful she is.
