Our Wedding

Justin moved to Nashville in March of 2021, while Mariah arrived just months later in June. However, their first encounter wouldnt take place until mid-December, when Justin would host a going away party for his friend, Dale, who was moving away to Denver. Just weeks prior to the party, Justin had noticed a new blonde, gym member at the gym where both he and Dale worked out. Fancying the girl, Justin encouraged Dale to become friends with the newbie and urged her to invite his new found interest to Dales going away party. Who was this mystery girl? Was it Mariah? Nope - this was one of Mariahs best friends, Kate. Being the good wing-woman Dale is, she succeeded in the mission of getting Kate to commit to the party. Flash forward to the day of the party. Understandably, Kate was having reservations about going to a party where she didnt really know too many people. Kate made a phone call and pleaded that her friend...*enter Mariah*...tag along as a buffer. Mariah, still relatively new to Nashville, saw it as an opportunity to meet new people and grow her friend circle. Later that evening, they both walked into Justins apartment, basically a complete stranger to both of them, to celebrate someone they barely knew, who was leaving Nashville. When Mariah walked in, Justins attention immediately shifted. For Justin, what was supposed to be a night dedicated to Dale, quickly turned to a night dedicated to getting Mariah to notice him. This would be hard since the Colts were playing the Patriots and anyone who knows Mariah, knows she has a one-track mind when either the Irish or Colts are playing. Another fun fact about Mariah, some may or may not know, is that she hates pork, which just so happens to be what Justin was cooking on his rooftop grill that night. When he noticed she wasnt indulging in his perfectly smoked pork tenderloin, he rushed to the downstairs Whole Foods to grab a greasy slice of eight-hour old pizza to make sure she didnt go without. Little did he know, this gesture would be what ultimately got Mariahs attention, the thing he was striving for the second she walked in his door in her red sweater and fake leather leggings. They would go on to share their first dance that night, swaying back and forth to Mariah Careys All I Want For Christmas in the always crowded Ms. Kellis Karaoke Bar. The two would be inseparable from that night on and the rest, as they say, is history.

Our Story

Bride’s Side

SISTER. Docter Young. My best friend since day 1. From stealing clothes, to bananas in the car, to dancing with no rhythm, to fighting, to crying, to being miles away…the one person I knew I needed by my side. 

Toni Young

We go way back. The girlfriend that will be brutally honest, even when you’re not asking her to be. We can go days, weeks or even months without seeing each other or talking and I know if I needed bailed out of jail, she would do it.

Caity Walls

The friend of the friend of the friend. The girl who puts up with me being dramatic for no reason, crying because of stupid things, and unorganized to the point she has to plan my outfits…thanks for keeping me together. Also, the best third wheeler, gentlemen…

Dale Marsh

Also known as ET. She helped me get through all four years of treacherous runs, annoying college classes, and casual college drama. ET will give you the shirt off her back if it came to helping her friends out. Oh, she’s a huge cat lover. 

Emily Terry

Sister of my mister. She’s been so welcoming of me as a sister in law to be, while letting me love on her kids and playing with them. Although we live hours and hours apart, I love knowing we have you as family!

Heather Griffin

Friends to enemies to friends again. The girl who moved to Nashville TN (basically with me) and we have found our way together and separately. The girl who can listen to me vent and just listen and give me advice. High school can be so mean, but we found our way together!
