Where It All Began

The year was 2019

Justin and Savannah met in early 2019 when she was working at her aunt's salon and Justin's mom was a running her massage therapy business out of the salon. Justin would stop by to see her every now and then and their families were friends, that was when their friendship first sparked. They would go on bike rides with both of their families and have long talks about the future not even realizing their future would be together. Even then they were very similar and noticeably compatible, but their lives didn't quiet align.... yet.

They Fell In Love

Several years later

Savannah was home for summer break after her sophomore year of college in 2023, Justin and she hadn't spoken in 3 years. She was working at her aunt's salon one Saturday and there comes Justin walking in with his mom, Carol, they hadn't even crossed each other minds the last few years, they didn't even speak to each other.... just stared. A few days later (with some encouragement, thank you Carol haha), he asked her on a date. On that first date, the connection was still there, they talked for hours. It felt like the same place but the right time, it felt like forever and since that date they have been inseparable.

The Start of Forever

November 15th, 2025

After two and half years of endless dates, unforgettable trips, graduating college, building a business, welcoming furry friends and buying a house together. Justin took Savannah on a trip to Charleston. He knew she would be clueless due to the circumstances of the trip. They went to tour the Magnolia Plantation, and after hours of Savannah dragging him through every inch of the plantation grounds, and Justin walking with a box in his boot all day they finally made it to the Magnolia gardens. This was where Justin thought it would be funny to make the joke to a clueless Savannah on the beautiful, historic bridge would be a great place to propose. Savannah then sarcastically laughed at the joke and turned to walk off the bridge to give other people a chance to take a picture on it when Justin got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. They still question today on if she even said yes through her uncontrollable tears of happiness. This moment will forever be one of the best days of their lives and brings you all here today to celebrate their love for each other on August 15, 2026.
