Alicia and Juliana’s story began in April 2021 when they matched on Bumble and went on their first date. Alicia was charmed by Juliana’s smile, adventurous spirit, and her cats Jota and Nala, while Juliana fell for Alicia's beautiful eyes and deep heart.

On June 26th, they made it official at Disney World, truly making it the "happiest place on earth". After a year of exploring Austin’s parks, bakeries, and art scene, they moved to Houston together when Alicia started medical school. Their new apartment became a home, and later they added two more family members - the kittens Poppy and Pepper.

In March 2023, Juliana pulled off the perfect surprise proposal during a trip to Los Angeles to see Alicia's sister and visit Disney Land. She convinced Alicia they were taking a helicopter ride she found on Groupon but instead, she asked her to marry her! Juliana maniacally laughed while Alicia sobbed (happy tears) for a full 30 minutes, and they celebrated the start of forever.

A little over a year later, the couple held a civil ceremony with immediate family in San Francisco, California to be legally married. Although they still plan to have their big wedding in San Juan Capistrano with their loved ones in the following year, the changing political tides and decreasing LGBTQ+ protections prompted Juliana and Alicia to officiate their marriage earlier rather than later. They shared a beautiful ceremony filled with joy, love, and peace with their parents and siblings on April 17, 2025, a year and a day before the wedding they planned.

Juliana and Alicia are looking forward to their special day in 2026, and canot wait to celebrate their love with all their favorite people!
