Hello!

Hello!
Welcome to the new JustineHQ blog! .

The news... Justin popped the question on Friday, and Christine said YES! This is the engagement ring, by Swiss artist Veto Schmuck (props to him).

The ring was originally picked out at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis but then was found at a local boutique in Chicago called Stitch (cheers to them!).

Justin's wedding band.

THE STORY:
Justin and Christine met in Sioux Falls, SD when they were 16 years old. They worked at Target together : D (still one of our favorite stores). They were friends, dated for a short period and then parted ways. Then 3-4 years later while Christine was working at the UofM Theatre Department she answered an email by a Justin Tvedt who was asking about an audition for a play. Christine wrote back answering his question and then asking if this was the Justin Tvedt from Sioux Falls. Of course, it was him! Justin and Christine met up before Justin moved to Minneapolis to transfer to UofM and before Christine headed off to Italy for a semester. They kept in contact by email until Christine returned.

Since 2001 the couple has supported each other through undergraduate careers, moving to a new city, grad school and taking a risk with new careers.
