We said YES to forever!

Some love stories begin with a grand gesture. Ours began with a simple hello. Nineteen years ago, we first met while I was working at The Boardwalk. At the time, neither of us could have imagined that our paths would cross again years later, or that a chance meeting would one day lead us to forever. Life took us in different directions, and for many years we lived separate chapters of our lives. But sometimes, the best love stories aren't about perfect timing—they're about finding your way back to the person you were always meant to be with. Seventeen years after we first met, Justin liked one of my Facebook posts. It was a small moment that could have easily gone unnoticed, but something told me to send him a message. That simple message started a conversation, and that conversation quickly became the highlight of our days. The more we talked, the more it felt like no time had passed at all. What began as reconnecting soon became friendship, laughter, comfort, and eventually a love that neither of us expected but both of us knew was something special. Looking back, it's amazing to think that after all those years, one Facebook notification would bring us back together. We truly believe God and life have a way of working things out exactly as they're meant to. Every step, every detour, and every year apart led us to this moment. Now, as we prepare to begin our next chapter as husband and wife, we're overwhelmed with gratitude. We can't wait to celebrate our love with the people who mean the most to us and begin the greatest adventure of all—our forever together.
