In the Fall of 2019, a young couple was about to form and for whatever reason it was unknown at the time. While working for the same organization that year, their paths began to cross. Justin with his upbeat personality and Jill with her work face on ready to take care of business.

Justin had a crush on Jill and Jill had a crush on Justin. She would get butterflies every morning while doing her make up before work. Justin would tell family about this girl named Jill from work. Eventually, walking by each other at work daily would allow them to connect into something more. A young, pretty college graduate and a bearded outdoorsman. Who would have thought?

As the days progressed, they would casually throw out the idea of going on a date together. Days and months went by before Justin finally proceeded to make the move to exchange numbers. They would go on their first date at the Black Cow on January 3, 2020 in Newburyport, MA. A beautiful evening that they spent together laughing, learning about one another, and talking until 1 am at Dunkin Donuts. Justin would say, “good morning beautiful,” every morning to Jill at work in the hallways and then eventually via text. They would talk on the phone every night for 2.5 years before, moving in together in the Fall of 2022.

Time progressed, together they would travel to Mexico, Vermont, down to the Cape during the summers, and ice fishing in Maine.

While going through trying times from the start of 2023 when Jills father became sick, they would stick together. Justin decided it was time to ask Henrys permission to marry his daughter. He laughed and was by no means surprised. He said, “I knew it was bound to happen!” and granted Justin permission to ask his daughter for her hand and marriage. On March 30, 2023 Justin popped the question to Jill.

Jill has always believed this was meant to be and that her mother brought Justin to her. Justin and Jill have overcome a pandemic, uncertainty, and loss. They cannot wait to officially tie the knot to their happily ever after.
