Justin’s Story

Picture of Justin’s Story
In 2017 I moved down to Texas without any intentions of staying. A short trip to help my parents get settled, hang out with family, and head back up north home. That all changed when I had the opportunity to go to school here and pursue my Bachelors degree. Thankfully, that choice to go to school led me to Abilene, TX where I met my now fiance, soon to be wife, Emily! We met online and quickly planned our first date. Our first date was planned to be at a frozen yogurt shop but to our surprise it was closed. The next best thing was eating a pint of ice cream in the food court of a United Supermarket right next door. Im so very thankful for that first date as it has blossomed into a 3 year relationship where we have now established a life together. Two cats, two dogs, and a new home were paving our way together day by day! I hope you can come join us in celebrating our love at our wedding!

Emily’s Story

For most of my life I grew up in Weatherford, TX. Through school I found my love for the fine arts. Participating in dance, choir, and theatre throughout it all.
After graduating in 2016, I attended Hardin-Simmons University where I got my BFA in Musical Theatre. During my last semester of school was when Justin and I met. Surprisingly, through a dating app. I first downloaded it just because I was bored, but ended up finding my soul mate.
Justin and I went on our first date a couple weeks after first matching and the rest is history. After only one month of officially dating, COVID happened. I ended up having to move home during my final semester in school. We were long distance for about a year after that. I had always heard about long distance relationships failing and things getting boring, but it never was for us. We found ways for us to spend time together, whether that was Justin buying a switch so we could play animal crossing together, or us binge watching anime together.
Finally, we moved in together and began building our life. We’ve bought a home together and have 2 cats and 2 dogs!!! It’s really like a zoo here!!
We’re so excited to spend the rest of our lives together, and looking forward to the memories made along the way.
