Our Wedding

God’s timing is perfect and we met exactly when we needed to at the most unexpected time. We thank God, Hinge, and growth along the way that helped lead us to each other. After dating and realizing how serious we were about each other, we became official 6.12.21

The Beginning - Florida Boy Meets Cali Girl

Our first year was during a very difficult time and having each other was truly a blessing. Being there for each other, pointing each other back to God, planning fun dates, traveling, being goofy with each other, and becoming obsessed with Korean bbq was how our first year flew by.

Year 1: “I’m So Glad I Finally Found You”

More trips, more laughs, and assurance that God had brought us together. We grew in more patience and understanding for one another and saw how bright our future was with each other.

Year 2: “I Love You More”

1.27.24 was when she said I do. We could not be happier to have reached this step in our relationship and the process of becoming one. Being asked to spend the rest of your life with the love of your life was an easy “yes”.

On our way to year 3: … “Will you marry me?”

As we prepare for marriage, we realize there is beauty in every part of the journey and so we are cherishing this precious moment in time. Cheers to becoming Mr. And Mrs. Tandy to be!

Cherishing The Moment 

Our Story

Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids

We met at CBU because our parents forced us to be roommates lol. First time actually meeting in person was at her high school graduation party, and three months later we were living together.

Our parents have always known each other through the LBFD & us both going to CBU in fall of 2015 we had no other choice but to room together. It worked out for the best, obviously! We were friends freshman year then became *best* friends sophomore year and beyond. She can’t get rid of my now and we’re family :) Her parents are literally my aunt and uncle hehe

Hobbies: watching TV, taking an intense workout class, anything that involves matcha, and annoying Justine. 

Fav memory: too many to choose from, but accidentally being at the same park Justine and Javin were at when he asked her to be his girlfriend!! Honorable mention: CBU Halloweekend 2016

Personality traits: straightforward, funny, God-fearing, smart (ish) jk, go-getter, kind 

Why she chose me: We’re each other’s best friends/wives 

Funny anecdote/facts: Justine thought I didn’t like her when we first met which is partially right lol. I just thought we wouldn’t be friends because we were so different in high school going into college, but boy was I WRONG thank God.

 Profession: Seniors social media manager- Yahoo Sports. 

Role I’m playing: MAID OF HONOR 🤪

My journey with Justine began the moment I was born, since we are cousins, marking the start of our lifelong bond and our relationship developed as we grew up together. One of my favorite shared memories together is when my cousin Tyler had the bright idea to tie all our bikes and wagons together and go down our big hill. We all went up that hill together, all in our own bike or wagon. We go down and Tyler jumps off. We all crashed into each other and it hurt a lot. It’s funny now to look back though. Some of my favorite hobbies and interests include going to visit new places, going shopping, riding jet skis in the lake, visiting amusement parks, doing crafts here or there, listening to music, or going to the movies. I also love anything Disney and staying in and watching tv. Some fun quirky facts about me is that my thumb can turn all the way around lol, I know Disneyland like the back of my hand, and I meet celebrities randomly. 

Destiny Ibarra 

Hello, my name is Suzee and I am Justine's cousin and bridesmaid. I met Justine when I was born and because she is my big cousin haha.  Growing up I loved being around her so much and playing outside with our neighbors. Some of my hobbies and interests include drawing, playing with my cat, and dancing. One of my favorite memories with Justine is when we used to go camping all the time and even camping in the backyard.

Suzee Ibarra 

Justine and I met our freshman year of college in English 113 (her name was saved as Justine English 113 in my phone for the longest time). After class, we would walk back together to our dorm rooms in Simmons. This is how we started sharing more of our lives and then we got even closer our last two years of undergrad!

I have so many favorite memories with Justine but our San Diego weekend trip in undergrad really solidified our bond. Even though we're in a long distance friendship, there's never been a day where she hasn't been able to show up for me. Her continuous check-ins and prayers have been a blessing. This friendship is an answered prayer. I remember  like it was yesterday when she texted me about going on her first date with Javin. I am so honored to be able to watch their love blossom and I can't wait to witness their happily ever after. 

Abby Bulanadi 

Hello my name is Symone and I'll be one of Justine's Bridesmaids. Justine and I met during our years at CBU together. Our relationship developed through many spontaneous activities. From weekly  girls nights to cruises and weekend trips to San Diego. My current hobbies and interests include trying new restaurants, wine tasting, and DIY projects. My favorite thing about Justine is how kind hearted of a person and friend she is no matter how far away. The most memorable experience I have with Justine is our trip to Hawaii and almost being stranded after a muddy hike. 

Symone Mack 

Hi everyone! I’m Ashley, (nice to virtually meet you)! Justine & I went to college together & man… was it an adventure! Looking back, we shared some of the funniest, wildest, and wholesome moments I’ve ever experienced. From accidentally crashing into bushes while driving (..oops lol), to living together, to experiencing the happiest and some of the most challenging emotions life has to offer together, to unforgettable trips, and now getting to be by her side watching her marry the man God brought into her life. What a blessing it has been! God knew what he was doing when he placed Justine in my life. She truly is the most God-fearing, loving, kind-hearted friend I know. I’m so happy she gets her fairytale love story with Javin, there's nobody more deserving. Can’t wait to see you all on her & Javin's big day!! With lots of love - Ash

Best Man and Groomsmen

Javin Tandy- a God sent son. Words can’t explain how Blessed I am to be Javins’
Father and Dad. My love for this young man is priceless. He has brought me and our
family nothing but love and joy.
There is not a day that I can recall him bringing about any disappointment from his
actions. As an infant, he didn’t cry. As a young boy, he listened and obeyed, loved
going to church, and didn’t express any negative attitude.
He was a natural for the game of football and basketball, along with many other hobbies
and interests. Growing up in these environments is where he developed his own
“KOOL” personality that became a magnet to those who encountered him. I’ve
witnessed this young man grow up being respected at every turn. Which is an indicator
of his morals, the respect, and humility he shows others.
Not being afraid of change, challenges and taking risks has allowed him to excel well
beyond my expectations and imagination.

~ One Proud Dad!

Erik Tandy 

I met J for the first time with my aunt Cheryl at MCYFL when he was on the peewee saints. We then went on to play football together at Trinity Catholic high school. I’m honored to be playing the role as groomsman. I am a funny real stand up guy who enjoys hanging out at family events and going to parties.

Derrick Bynes 

My friendship with Javin started on the football field. There were a few things off top that we both could relate to. Both played running back, both could play slot receiver and at the time we both were long hair don’t care gang but our friendship would soon grow to be a brotherhood. We became so close people around us thought we were cousins or brothers & we just went with it. Besides the battles we had on the field, the memories I cherish the most are the times where we would just hang out, joke around, & predict the lives we would be living now. I am a Mechanical Design Engineer who loves food, travel, & spending time with family and friends. 

Larenz Scroggins 

My name is Deionte but go by Deion. I am a husband/truck driver/ barber. I enjoy playing and watching sports. I met the groom, Javin back in high school while playing football/track and also a few classes we shared together. Me and Javin became close due to our competitiveness in sports and jokes we shared in and out of school. 

Deionte Strozier

Where do I start!? My brother from another mother is getting married! Javin and I met 15 years ago( when the wedding happens this will be accurate), it’s crazy how time flies. There have been many adventures along this journey, from on the football field, the rec. center, call of duty, my 2-door Ford, family vacations and cookouts, the talks we have and had about the future, and seeing things come true.  I am honored to call Javin my brother.  I do Natural Disaster Response and enjoy traveling, spending time with family & Friends, riding motorcycles, and working on older cars. 

Cedrick Lowe

I met Javin in 2010… It was my first year in Land O’ Lakes and I only knew a few people… Javin got to Pine View a little later in the school year… Being that we were underage to drive, and our parents worked, we had to ride the school bus every morning. The morning I met Javin, he was sitting in my seat… Out of all the seats on the bus he chose to sit in my seat. I get on the bus, and I notice there’s this dude sitting in my seat; not talking to anybody nor acknowledging anybody… I still sat down because that was my seat aha. We eventually introduced ourselves to each other… We’ve been best friends since then.
We played the same positions in Football, ran track together going to States, engraving our names in records with the 4x1 relay. We’re both relaxed people; it doesn’t take much for us to have a good time. 
My favorite memories with Javin are too many to count but my favorites were Spring Break 2018 and his graduation at FSU. As a military brat, you don’t get to meet too many people that you can consider a friend for long in the places you live… but Javin and I have been friends since 2010… His family seemed to be like my family. I never felt out of place around them… My family welcomed him like he was a part of our family.

To have a friend that you can talk to, and they can talk to you about anything is a blessing in itself… But to have a friend/brother that helps you see and understand other's perspectives and where they may be coming from is a different kind of blessing…
 From middle school to high school, to college graduation and now you’re wedding; I’m glad to be a part of these steps you’ve been taking Hermano.
 I consider Javin a brother and I’m glad I was chosen to be a part of his bridal party. 
I’m proud of you J! Congrats to you and Justine!! To many more beautiful years together 🥂

Sydney Jackson 

I can’t say enough about Justine Kealani, she was the most beautiful little girl with long curly hair and  dimples. And now the most beautiful woman. I am honored to call her my daughter, my baby girl. Justine was special from the start. She always wanted to please and do well….Justine excelled in school and sports. She is one of the smartest and most hard working person  I know. The first award Justine ever received was from her preschool teacher for her “ perseverance” and her motivation to do well.. Justine was such a joy to watch grow up. Her big brother Tyler and her were my little comedians, dancers and actors.. justine relationship with her brother is special, they always played together and fought like any siblings but they truly loved each other, they were like twins. Justine has excellent in sports, school, career but the most important part of Justine is her love and dedication to our Lord Jesus Christ.  Justine accepted the Lord at a young age, she did devotions daily and she looks to the Lord. Even during the hardest events of our life’s, her faith never changed, she is such a gift and I am so thankful that God gave me the honor to be her mom. You are beautiful inside and out. Baby girl!

Love your mama

Sally Jackson 

As I remember the day you were born, you were one of the best gifts God had given me. 
My heart is filled with memories of the times when you were small. Your favorite song we would sing to you, your love and dedication to church,sports, and school. 
It seems like yesterday I was watching you run and play, now you’ve grown into a man, fallen in love and about to have a wife. 
I’m so excited and happy that God has placed an amazing woman in your life that you can love and grow old with. 
You have given me so many reasons to be proud of the man you have become, but the proudest moment for me is telling others that you are my son. 
                   I love you always, Mom

Aretha Boyd 

I don’t really remember when we first met because we were so young but all I know is as far back as I remember we been locked in I’m a groomsman but I was really supposed to be the best man but ima chill 😂😂😂 we started off playing football together for the rams in Florida an bro was younger than me but he had that kill in him just like I did so our team was soo good lol But we grew up an over the years we might have lived in different states but we have always kept in touch and have made memories throughout our lives no matter the distance between us… Jay has looked out for me in times that I was at my lowest and celebrated with me in times we both where firing on all cylinders… a true brother… a real friend!! One of my favorite times I remember is when he was graduating college and the night before we didn’t sleep a second and had a great night celebrating him graduating with our sisters and created memories we could never forget… I never wanted to have the big little brother because of my competitive nature but at this point, I just gotta embrace it lol but he still knows who big bro is lmao I’ve always been his biggest fan though when it came to sports I remember when I use to show everyone his pee wee saints highlight tape fast forward to now me telling everyone “ yea my little brother flies drones for a living out in LA “ lol I appreciate the genuine love we have for each other and the brotherhood we have created I love him to the moon and back so Justine you better take care of my little brother but I know you will, you two are perfect for each other and I wish you two a wonderful life and happy life together from big bro with love 🤙🏾💙
