This love story begins like many others, inside the four walls of Rhode Island’s own Dave’s Marketplace! Vanessa was 16 and starting her first job and Justin was 17 and had been working there for a little while. Justin remembers the moment Vanessa walked in on her first day and the world paused for a moment as he was taken back by her effortless beauty. Shortly after briefly meeting, Justin left to pursue his career while his younger brother, Christopher took his place as a Dave’s employee. Vanessa and Chris immediately became great friends! Through Chris Vanessa met Deanna who is now one of her best friends. The three were always together whether it was at work or on the weekends.

Chris and Deanna were both in on their own secrets, Justin liked Vanessa and Vanessa liked Justin. The two friends made a plan to all go see the holiday lights at Lasallete. They took a picture that night, 4 years ago, nobody knew then how well that photo would age!

It is hard to remember a time when Justin and Vanessa weren’t a unit because they compliment each other so well. They created such a strong and loyal bond over the years and moved in together in the Summer of 2022!

They bought a beautiful home that is warm with love, they find so much joy being there with their animals and livestock. Justin is a passionate lineman and Vanessa a highly skilled Dental Hygeinist. The two both work very hard, on days off you can often find them kicking back with a brew at Cornerstone Pub, their favorite watering hole! They are both extremely gracious of family and friends, they both have amazing memories and stories of those that shaped them and continue to do so in this new chapter!

Cheers to the soon-to-be Lanoue family, two of this world’s most wholesome individuals.
