Justin Guarini found love in the arms of Reina Capodici, a longtime high school friend whose mother was his English teacher. The couple met when he was just 15 years old, but they didn't pursue a romantic connection in 2007. The "Timeless" singer told Radar that Capodici was the one he had been searching for. "I've traveled all over the world, but I found the woman I love right in my own backyard." While Capodici was a local girl, he bought her ring while traveling abroad, revealing on his BlogTalkRadio show that he had planned on proposing for a while. "I'd actually gotten the ring when I was in Afghanistan ... I had to keep it hidden for quite some time ... And then I got this gig at Disney. So, I'm like, 'Disney is the place where dreams come true.' So why not — it's my dream and hers." So, Guarini proposed after a fireworks show in a grotto — and the lady said yes.
Their 2009 garden wedding was an intimate affair with only 50 guests and included Capodici's then-4-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. Guarini told People, "I had vows to her and I gave her a necklace [with] Reina's engagement ring on it so that she can have that for the rest of her life." They exchanged personal vows, ate asparagus and salmon, and stole a private moment to weep in each other's arms at the sheer wonder of it all. And their blessings kept coming.
