Our Wedding

In 2017, it started on a dating website…Plenty of Fish. We had gone on a few dates and shared common interests, such as loving the outdoors, family and fishing...of course. The relationship never really progressed into anything. We stayed friends over snapchat and shared the occasional fish catch. In April 2018, Justin sent me a message asking if I would like to go out on the boat to catch some monsters. I told him you would need to meet my parents first, as they will not like me going out on a boat in a different town with someone they didn’t know. To my surprise, he did! I knew right then, he was a keeper! Throughout the years we grew closer and closer. Our love runs deep. We are partners in crime that are always fishing, diving and living life in the moment. Christmas Day 2022, Manasota beach, he asked to marry him. We are looking forward to tying the knot and making it of-FISH- cial.

The Greatest Catch

Our Story

Photos

Jackie is Stephanie’s middle sister. She might ask where turkey comes from, but she can school you when it comes to the medical field. Jackie is smart, caring and is goofy. She is always there when you need her, unless she is watching a movie...and by movie...she typically asleep. 

Jackie Mason 

Emily is Stephanie's oldest sister but is still in her twenties. She is scared of frogs and most bugs but is never scared to stand up for what she believes in.  She is smart, witty and always gives the best advice. Don’t talk to her about any Florida college football team unless it’s University of Miami! Go Canes!!

Emily Foster

Kristin is Stephanie’s sister from another mister (and mom). Stephanie has known her since she was in diapers. They were always inseparable but how can you not be when your best friend lives next door to you? They have always been adventurous, playing hide and seek, having sleep overs and mowing neighborhood kids down in an electric car. She is Stephanie’s ride or die best friend for life. 

Kristin Cutler

Alex, also known as Wild Bill.  Justin has known Alex since high school and has been really good friends ever since. Always out for a good time, from four-wheeling, to fishing, diving and fixing his parents car on a time crunch.  Let just say he pulled into the driveway with the last bit of oil spilling out of the bottom of a car....he's not call Wild Bill for nothing!

Alex Whalen

AKA Bert. Justin and Bert have been friends for many years. They have worked side by side on numerous jobs. To pass time at work, they would have butyl fights, burn each other with drill bits and slide down rubber roofs...OSHA would definitely not approve.  He is sarcastic most days but will is always there when you need him. 

Robert Miller

Neighbor Dave...it's weird calling him anything else. One of the greatest neighbors and friend anyone could have. Neighbor Dave got Justin and Stephanie into fossil hunting. It's been a constant battle on who can find the biggest megalodon shark tooth. Justin definitely found the biggest tooth but Neighbor Dave does not have to know.
