Biz and Justin met in college in Weaver Hall in the fall of 2006. Justin was enrolled at JMU, while Biz was playing field hockey and lacrosse at Bridgwater College, which was only 15 minutes down the road. It just so happened that Biz’s best friend, Stevie, was also living in Justin’s dorm and Biz would come to visit very often.

They started out as good friends, who enjoyed similar tastes in music and beverages, and remained friends long after both moved back to their homes after college. Justin began his teaching career up in Jersey and Biz began hers in the 757. They saw each other a few times over the years around the fourth of July, but their relationship started to evolve once Biz came up to visit Justin during Spring Break. They had an amazing time together and it started more frequent visits and eventually blossomed into a relationship.

Justin moved down to Virginia Beach in the summer of 2018 and they began to start their lives together. They rented an incredible beach bungalow less than a mile from the water and enjoyed so many fun and cherished memories with their friends, families, and dog, Marty.

When COVID hit, they were forced to relocate, but this only led them to the purchase of their first home together. Since moving into their Ocean Lakes house in 2020, they have filled it with so many wonderful memories and can’t wait to fill it with many more. The only thing that was missing was a ring.

That all changed on December 29th 2022, when Biz was finally ready to say yes to Justin. He brought her to the beach, planning it out with her sister that they were planning on taking “family portraits,” which Biz was thrilled about. When everyone arrived at the beach, Justin got down on one knee and told Biz how special she was and how he couldn’t wait to spend the rest of his life with her.

The rest of the day ( and the entire year) has been filled with celebrations and more amazing memories that Biz and Justin will never forget.
