Our Wedding

Justin and I have known each other for over 12 years. We go way back together! Over the last 12 years of continued friendship, we've both loved, learned, and grew as our own individuals living separate lives but always remained close friends. Through all of life's challenges, we've always been one to count on each other for advice and always made sure that we were doing good.On June 18th, 2022 both of our lives changed drastically and neither one of us saw it coming, but it did! I "shoot my shot" and decided to reach out to Justin after recently seeing his relationship status FINALLY say single. What do you know? The next day we made plans to catch up.June 19th, 2022- Father's Day, I was at my Aunt's house celebrating and Justin and I had been texting ALL day, super excited to catch up with one another since it had been forever since we last spoke. We mutually decided to meet at Hops N' Drops. I, once again, made the move and decided that Hops N' Drops just wasn't enough, so we arranged to have our first "sleep over" that same night. Ever since this day, we both have been inseparable and I knew from the moment we re-connected, he was the one.From the early-on dates, all of the vacations, photoshoots, and millions of memories we've already made together... it is safe to say that I have finally found the ONE and cannot wait to say I do to my best friend.Justin and I's feelings for each other are very strong and have been since the very beginning. We both share such strong love and admiration for one another. I look forward to spending forever together.I love you Justin.

Sierra,
From the day I met you, at Volcano we instantly bonded over the fact that we both had FAKE ID'S. Both of us thought we were older than we actually were, HAHAHA. I have enjoyed having you a part of my life over the many years, you definitely are a pure joy and can add sunshine to anyone's gloomy day. Your laugh, your smile, and you being around anywhere can instantly light up a room. And, that's exactly what you do for me! I will forever cherish all of our long nights, early mornings. drunk stories, going on vacations together, celebrating birthdays, etc. Anytime we are together, we always have the MOST fun. I am so honored to have you be part of my special day and I look forward to the many more years to follow.
I love you Burke, thanks for staying awake and not blacking out.. HAHA.
