Wow, where to begin???? Well.... as most of you know I was previously engaged and had a whole wedding planned that I didnt go through with (That is strangely the biggest part of how I met my Sweet Justin <3) Well, My photographer that was hired for that wedding became one of my good friends that knew this really great guy that was "alot older than me" but she wanted to set me up with him so bad!!!! I fought it for like 2 months until I didnt.... 

My first date with Justin was March 19, 2020. I think we all remember what that month looked like- EVERYTHING shutting down around us because of Covid-19- yuck!!!! Well, we were going out no matter what (it was destiny in the works hehe) We had 2 options- Waffle House OR Applebee's.... naturally, we chose Applebee's. We had met our match in each other. We continued to talk about anything and everything for the next ummmm... like 8 hrs?!?!! *laughing* I had finally met someone interesting that could keep up with my daily word count :-) We continued to see each other nearly everyday and quickly became inseperable. We have gone on so many adventures together until the most important yet that happened this past March 19th, 2025 at that very same Applebee's we had our first date. He asked me to be Mrs. Ripley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

I am so glad we met - We have healed parts of each others hearts that I don't think either of us ever truly thought we would recover from. He adds some much value to mine and Bridgette's life and I could never picture my life without him at this point!

We really hope you can spend this special day with us as we sail to Paradise and have the time of our lives! Thank you for being part of our Love Story, hope we talk soon!!! <3
