Liam and Julie met in the Spring of 2021 during a business class at Walsh University. The first day of the semester, Liam arrived late and hurriedly took the empty seat next to Julie. There were other seats available, but in a split second, as if by fate, he’d chosen the seat next to her. Their conversations started with class assignments and they soon hit it off, spending more time together outside of class.

As the months passed, the circumstances in their lives changed, and they felt it best to go their separate ways. In this time, they each hoped time and new experiences would bring them peace and clarity.

During this period, both Liam and Julie grew individually. They pursued their passions, built their careers, and discovered more about themselves and what they really wanted out of life and love. Despite the separation, neither could forget the other. They reconnected with one another off and on, and always maintained a close friendship. Eventually, they realized their love was not a fleeting college romance, but something profound and enduring.

In December of 2022, fate intervened again. Liam asked Julie to visit the zoo to see Christmas lights, just wanting to catch up and experience the Wild Lights holiday event. The spark was instant, as if no time had passed. They spent hours catching up, sharing their journeys and the lessons they'd learned, and plotting to steal an adorable Red Panda without getting caught! It became clear that every bend and detour in their journey had only strengthened their love for each other.

Reunited, Liam and Julie were more certain than ever that they were meant to be together. Their relationship, once tested by time and distance, now stood resilient and unwavering. They moved in together, blending their lives seamlessly. They supported each other through triumph and tribulation, resolving to never give up on one another and to build a beautiful life together. In October of 2023, Liam finally proposed at the pumpkin patch, asking Julie to, “carve a life together” with him. Obviously, she said yes!

We hope on our wedding day, surrounded by friends and family, for our love story to come full circle. Our journey was not without its challenges, but it led us to the most beautiful destination – a life intertwined with love, laughter, and endless possibility!
