Once upon a time, in the digital age of romance, Justin and Emily's love story began on Bumble. Their first interaction was sparked by Emily’s playful message, "I like your style." It was Justin’s cowboy hat that caught her eye, drawing her in from the start. Their first date was at Bakersfield, where sparks flew over shared pitchers of margaritas. Justin would later say he was "drunk in love," while Emily would joke that she was "sick in love" after indulging in heaps of queso. From that night on, they embarked on countless adventures together, exploring music venues, cozy coffee shops, and cooking up memories in their own kitchens. As their bond grew stronger, they moved in together, first into a tiny apartment that felt like a shoebox, but was filled with love, and then into their first real home. It was there that they welcomed a new addition to their family—a sweet and spirited pup named Forest, with his curly tail and endless energy. Three years of love, laughter, and life together led Justin to plan the perfect proposal at the Biltmore in Asheville, NC. He told Emily he wanted to see the leaves change in the fall, knowing his love for nature, she didn't think anything of it. Just a simple romantic day trip. But fate and Helene, had other plans, and a sudden change of circumstances required Justin to pivot. For two souls who never liked the spotlight, he chose to go back to their roots: a simple coffee date. It was there, at Rose’s Wine Garden, that Justin got down on one knee, surrounded by the cozy ambiance of one of their favorite spots. The surprise on Emily’s face quickly turned into tears of joy, and with a resounding "Yes!" their forever began. And so, like all the best modern fairytales, they lived happily ever after—proof that true love isn’t about grand gestures, but the beautiful, unexpected moments shared along the way.
