Our Wedding

Our story begins in the Summer of 2016 when we fell profoundly in love with one another. At the time, we were in high school and quickly realized we were meant to be together and would be best friends for life. Spending time together became our favorite pastime, and we truly are two peas in a pod. Fast forward to November 24th, 2022, we were enjoying the sunset on St. Pete Beach, in Florida when Justin knelt down on one knee and proposed to Francesca and she happily said- yes! Since then, our love has only become deeper and stronger over time. Through hard work and determination we were able to successfully purchase our very first home together in October 2023! Now, almost nine wonderful years later, we’re thrilled to share that the moment we’ve always dreamed of is finally here—we're getting married! We’ve built a beautiful life together and can’t wait to start this new chapter as a married couple!
