Lindsay and Justin have known each other since middle school in Penfield, New York. Lindsay still remembers sitting in front of Justin in seventh-grade social studies, where she made several attempts to strike up a conversation before class (Justin, apparently, didn’t quite get the hint!). Years later, their love story officially began at their local Starbucks, and the rest is history. From the very start, Lindsay and Justin loved exploring together, whether it was finding new favorite restaurants, planning weekend getaways, or escaping to the Finger Lakes, which quickly became their favorite place to unwind. There, they spent their time kayaking on the lakes, hiking scenic trails, camping, and soaking in the outdoors. Their journey hasn’t always been simple. For more than four years, Lindsay and Justin navigated a long-distance relationship while finishing undergraduate studies, followed by Justin’s first year of medical school and Lindsay’s accelerated nursing program. Despite the distance, they continued making memories whenever they could; traveling, adventuring, and always finding their way back to the Finger Lakes. Eventually, Lindsay made the move to Long Island to be with Justin, where they built a life filled with outdoor adventures, camping trips, and exploring the local food scene together (with their favorite spot being Old Fields, where they would get $1 shrimp during happy hour). When Justin’s residency brought them to Rhode Island, they embraced yet another move with excitement, eager for new experiences, new places to explore, and new memories to make. From middle school to medical training, from long-distance to living side by side, Lindsay and Justin have always found joy in exploring the world together, whether by kayak, hiking trail, etc., and they can’t wait to continue that adventure as husband and wife.
