We first met in 2015 on campus through a mutual friend! The root of our friendship stems from enjoying pizza, wine, and a good cartoon. In 2017, the word "date" was thrown around, and soon we were "talking". Though it's still not Facebook official, we became a couple that Christmas! The next year was time spent exploring Columbus. We shared our hobbies with one another such as hiking, dabbling in film photography, brewing and drinking delicious beer, and reviewing local restaurants. We moved in together in 2019, making Merion village home for the two of us, Remy, and Lola!

We started traveling more and Todd planned our first Trip of a Lifetime vacation to the PNW. Washington became our absolute favorite place. In 2020, Todd blossomed in bread baking and Julia grew a green thumb. We were ready for a little more room and a lot more responsibility, so we bought our first (and last) home in Summer of 2021! In between rewiring, plaster work, and the never ending job that is painting, we snuck in a second Trip of a Lifetime Fall 2022.

Todd proposed!! Julia didn't see it coming at all, as she claims to this day she packed his bags. We spent the rest of our vacation keeping our engagement to ourselves and Brittany, the horse trainer/tour guide gal. This past year and a half we have been celebrating the love and relationships in our lives, and we could not be more excited to share our day with you!
