Jack and Julia first crossed paths during a work volunteer event at a local YMCA kids carnival, where Jack’s playful interactions with the children charmed Julia. Julia joined the company co-ed softball team where Jack played and met his lovable dog, Annie. Their friendship quickly blossomed into a romance, and Julia happily became Annie’s dog mom.

On a frosty December day, Jack orchestrated a sweet surprise. Pretending to work a weekend shift at The Hudson Building in downtown Detroit, he led Julia to the 31st floor, where, surrounded by a breathtaking view, he asked her to spend forever with him. Their engagement was celebrated with an amazing party, where their families showered them with love and excitement.

We share a passion for traveling, enjoying concerts, and spending quality time with our family and friends. Our little family grew with the addition of Sammie, our energetic golden retriever puppy. We still play co-ed softball and attend to the same volunteer event annually for our community week at work. We are SO thrilled about our future and eagerly look forward to all the adventures our growing, energetic, loving family will experience together!
