We live in a time where you can customize just about anything from the interior of your car and the color of your hair to the type of coffee you drink. Why not tailor the type of person you should be with for the rest of time? Courtney & Justin’s tale begins in cyber world in a little land known as J-Date. Courtney admits, “ I wasn’t expecting to meet someone as I was leaving for Spain to study abroad.” Justin reached out to Courtney where the two spent 4 hours connecting and setting up their first date!

Their first date was a smash closing a restaurant and a coffee house! Being Courtney was on a time crunch their next date was set for the very next evening. The two spent the following three weeks joined at the hip until her departure. They did not expect it to last but the kept in contact and Justin even accompanied Courtney to her sister’s wedding. To show is his affection for her he created a slideshow of the two set to “You & Me” by Lifehouse. The duo spent the next 7 years falling in love, building a foundation, supporting each other through the good & bad, triumphs & failures, growing, crying, and laughing. Courtney says, “ We knew it was love! We can’t imagine our lives without the other one in it – and we would never want to!”

The journey continued to develop while visiting an Open-Air Museum in Hakone, Japan with Justin & Courtney and his family. The two climbed to the top of Symphonic Sculpture where Justin proposed. Having his family there to not only capture it but also commemorate was extra special!

They celebrated their union at Capitale. Just before Courtney & Justin’s first look, he surprised her with an amazing animated video which you must check out below! Courtney cascaded down the aisle wearing Kenneth Pool with Hot pink Manolos! The couple rocked the night away with music by Soul Street (Total Ent) and Floral designs by SPRL. The surprises didn’t stop there, at the reception in front of all of their friends and family he sang, “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra!
