The Beginning Of Us
It started with something simple… puppies.
Juscelia was at work one day when she came across a Snapchat post advertising Golden Retriever puppies. Her sister and close friend had been wanting a dog for a while, so she shared it with them. That one small moment led her to reach out to Elio—the person selling the puppies.
After her friend picked up the first puppy, she told Juscelia something unexpected:
“You should meet him too.”
So Juscelia decided to go.
She drove an hour and a half to pick up a puppy for her sister.
When Elio saw her for the first time, he was immediately drawn in and tried to start a conversation, but all he got back were polite nods and a quiet “thank you.” He assumed that was the end of it.
But it wasn’t.
A week later, Juscelia started sending puppy updates.
Those small conversations slowly turned into something more.
Over the next few months, casual messages became real conversations…
Real conversations became a connection…
And that connection turned into something neither of them expected.
Their first real trip together brought Juscelia to Virginia Beach.
Over a few days, they shared meals, explored, laughed, and truly got to know each other. When it was time to leave, they went back to their normal lives—but something had changed.
Now separated by over 600 miles, neither of them was ready to let go.
Trips back and forth became their routine.
Massachusetts to Virginia. Virginia to Massachusetts.
Through distance, challenges, deployments, and uncertainty, they continued choosing each other again and again.
That leap of faith built the foundation of the life they share today. A loving family, a home, and a future they’re building side by side.
On April 16, 2024, Elio proposed to Juscelia in San Diego, California, overlooking the ocean cliffs at La Jolla Cove.
She said yes! They are now counting down the days until they stand together and officially begin the next chapter of their lives as husband and wife.
