Danelle and Justin first met unexpectedly at Solano college in the fall of 2010. Having mutual friends they did the nonchalant introductions with each other and had little small talk. Fast forward to December of 2010 where they were reacquainted at some function in Vallejo. That was the beginning of their friendship alongside an unstoppable beer pong team. Being the kind person she is, Danelle offered Justin a ride home and from then on they began to see each other more frequently. Whether it was dollar pints at Sudwerks or heading out to clubs in the city, they made every excuse they can to be with one another. Although Danelle and Justin were growing closer, Justin was drawing near to joining the Marines, and they had no idea what was in store for their future. A trip to Disneyland seemed like the best ending to their relationship, but it did just the opposite and they became inseparable those final days before boot camp. It wasn’t until October 8, 2011, Justin did not want anyone else but Danelle so they totally went steady. It finally came to the day when he left for boot camp, but it never stopped them from communicating. Every day Danelle wrote Justin a letter and he the same wrote as often as he could. It was these letters that solidified their bond and the letters continued well after Justin got out of boot camp. The letters gave them a chance to exchange their strong feelings for one another. It wasn’t until they were finally together in Oceanside were they finally able to say they loved each other. From then on they continued to grow and build their relationship no matter what was in their way. The long months and distance of separation were only a short obstacle to build their love to what it is today. After more than 8 years since since their first interaction, Justin and Danelle have finally wanted to take the next step in the matrimony of marriage.

We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you! See you on 8-8 in the 808!
