Story

It all started at Thanksgiving 2015 when Justin’s cousins Sheena and Serena approached me with the idea of setting me up with their cousin, Justin in Florida. With previous attempts in the past, I didn’t think anything of it and went along with the conversation and agreed to the possibility of giving it a chance.

As we went upstairs for a second plate of food, I was told Justin’s mom was visiting NY and was actually at dinner with us and I met her that night! It was all part of a plan! Later that year on a trip to Florida, the girls approached Justin about me. On Sunday, January 9th 2016, Justin sent me a text introducing himself saying “Hey, in the least awkward way possible, its Justin from Florida and it’s a pleasure”. After reading his message that night, I ended up ignoring him and only responding to him the next day. And from then on, our long distance relationship grew over the next 2.5 years.

We come from large families and Justin even has a few cousins in NY who attend the same church as I do and live really close by. Both of our families have known each other for many years even before the two of us had ever met! Fun fact: The first time I ever went to Disney world, when I was 4 years old, my family actually stayed at Justin's house during the trip! When we look back at our lives, all we can think about is how God’s timing is perfect and how he orchestrated the two of us being together! We are so excited to celebrate this day with you all!
