Let's Celebrate!

Marco and Justine met at a house party hosted by their mutual friend, Joseph Conti (shoutout!). Throughout the evening Marco and Justine went head to head in a variety of competitive drinking games, most of which Justine came out on top. One of Marco's first and favorite memories from that night, was Justine stating "yeah, I'm good at games". This night sparked a connection that eventually lead to Justine asking for Marco's number and a first date at a San Diego Gull's Game. After many pool parties, trips and fun family barbeques, their love continues to grow to this day.

Anyone who knows Marco can tell you, he is a Birthday Diva. So him planning a proposal/engagement party on his birthday was the perfect way to surprise Justine. Marco called Justine up in front of all of their friends, family, and loved ones, for what she thought was an impromptu birthday speech. It was in that moment that Marco removed his left sneaker (to not crease his Jordan 10's), and dropped to one knee asking her to marry him. Justine said yes without any hesitation. They spent the following ten days celebrating their engagement in Hawaii.

Soon after the engagement, Marco and Justine were eager to start growing their family. It was during a mini golf game a few months later, when Justine couldn't stomach a Juneshine, that she realized she was pregnant. At their first ultrasound, they were surprised when two little heartbeats popped up on the screen. Marco cheered and Justine was speechless. On May 16th, Justine and Marco welcomed two beautiful baby girls, Malaea Jordan Palombo and Julienne Love Palombo into the world.
