The easiest answer is "on a boat!". I was invited out on the boat by a girlfriend of mine & her boyfriend I hadn't met. I stepped aboard and saw the most handsome man I'd ever seen. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I caught him having the same problem! I saw him a couple of times after, but lost touch with the girl when I moved back to Ocean Springs. One year later my phone rang & it was him! Justin! He came over from Pass Christian and we talked & laughed until 5am. That solidified my feelin that we were meant to be & that it really was love at first sight. He told me he felt the same way. We both knew from the moment we saw each other that we would be together someday. Here we are, almost 4 years later & are still madly in love even more than yesterday & the day before.

We all went to dinner at Gracie's favorite restaurant. Justin was very nervous and fidgeting the whole time & I knew something was up. We got home & it was a full moon, tons of stars, really amazing. I was looking up & when I looked back down, Justin was down on one knee with a beautiful ring,asking me to be his forever & would I be his wife? I started crying, he did too & I kissed him, he hugged me & as he held me, he told me this is where you belong & where you'll always be..in my arms. It was so beautiful and romanti. (He said a lot more, but that's just for me!) lol! 

The wedding took place at the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel on Wednesday, February 25, 2015. It was held in the piano suite with a very small, intimate group of close friends and family. Our colors were navy, silver, and blush. The bridesmaids wore navy dresses & the groom & groomsmen wore navy button down shirts & silver ties. They were quite dashing and handsome. Everyone wore either the custom flip flops I make, or flops of their own. The Theme was nautical and beachy. The room was decorated with votives & seashells. It was held at sunset with the sun setting behind us. The ceremony was beautiful and touching, especially when the personalized vows were read. Both of us feared up,as did a few attendants. When the ceremony was over, everyone stayed for a small reception of cake and champagne. it was a beautiful weddin! Oh, and my dress was ivory, backless & had a short train. It was satin & gorgeous! 

We are planning to go to Secrets Wild Orchid in Montego Bay, Jamaica. We are waiting until October 14-21 to go because that best coincides with our daughter's school schedule. We thank you in advance for the gifts and generosity of all of our family and friends.Without you, this honeymoon wouldn't be possible.it's our first vacation together ever, so we're making the most of it! Thank you all so much & we'll have pictures for you when we return. Thanks again, Jessica and Justin
