It all started on a Busabout tour in August 2017 in Croatia.
There is no such thing as Love at First Sight. At least that’s what we thought up until we locked eyes on the boat. I mean Justin looked at his Mate, James, and said “I don’t know what it is about that Girl, but she is going to have something to do with the rest of my Life.” Has anyone else ever had that feeling? Where you think its too good to be true but you still place yourself in a Hollywood love-story; then shake your head because you usually star in low budget Horror Films? That was Us.
We wont get into details about every day of the trip but once our Tour Guide, Anna, exposed us for “rocking the boat-” there was no going back. We let our love flags fly, if you will. Sitting top deck with Sommersby Ciders at night and getting lost in Old Town Dubrovnik; we were like 2 teenage kids- holding hands, endless conversations about nothing and the most content we’ve ever been.
Our Tour Guide organized a Fake Wedding for us. Like every organized Wedding, you need Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, proper apparel, 2 rings and some vows! We all bought Pirate Swag on Makarska Island before the big day! Our rings are both still worn to this day and have never been taken off. Our Wedding Vows were a little nontraditional you could say; the Groomsmen wrote Justin’s and the Bridesmaid’s wrote Kait’s. You may not fully be able to understand or hear the vows, but that’s okay– trust us. They were something else. Neither of us were allowed to read our vows beforehand and read them outloud for the first time to eachother at our Wedding.
Kait’s Dad even showed up for her Big Day!
FUN FACT: Kait was originally booked on the Croatia One Way Sail (Split to Dubrovnik) in July, but Busabout called her one day asking if she was able to depart in August rather than July. She had JUST bought her tickets online, but thankfully, you could cancel for free within 12hours of purchase. It made no difference to Kait at the time as her work schedule was pretty flexible. Everything happens for a reason! ♥
Fast forward a year : Happily Engaged. Still Travelling and searching for the perfect place to call Home! If you’re not love sick yet, check out our About Us page where you can see other fun stuff like how Kait proposed to Justin!
