Justin Haley and His Wife, Haley, First Met at the Charlotte Airport!

NASCAR driver Justin and Haley‘s love story started unexpectedly when they ran into each other at Charlotte airport. That said, the intricate details of their relationship timeline remain unknown.

On a fine day on April 10, 2023, returning from a race in Bristol, they pulled over at the Chestoa View Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. That’s when Justin went on his knees to pop the question to Haley, followed by an obvious YES.

A week after getting engaged, Haley flaunted her ring on Instagram, penning a caption that reads, “Week one of using the word fiancé way too much.

Fast forward to November 17, 2023, Justin and Haley exchanged their wedding vows at the Grand Bohemian in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The couple chose Charlotte for its sentimental value, as it was where they first crossed paths and shared many memories.

Justin and Haley opted for an intimate wedding ceremony attended by around 100 guests, including NASCAR senior captain Billy Mauldin and driver Kaz Grala.

As Billy officiated the ceremony, Haley walked down the aisle to a beautiful “Stuff We Did” track from the movie “Up.”

She adorned the strapless satin faille Mikaella by Paloma Blanca wedding gown that her parents gifted her for her big day.

They even exchanged handwritten vows besides traditional vows, adding a personal touch to their wedding.

One of the most unique aspects of their relationship is Haley’s new last name, Haley Haley.

The racing driver Justin joked about the humorous name, but Haley embraced it with joy and humor, saying, “It’s not every day a bride marries someone whose last name is their first name, so we wanted to have fun with that.

She even started making appointments and reservations under “Haley Haley.”
