Mitch and Julia met for the first time in Bio 101 Lab during the fall semester of their freshmen year. Julia sat in the desk right in front of Mitch. Their friendship began by Julia helping Mitch pass his lab exams.

Mitch and Julia's relationship started becoming more than friends when Mitch got Julia's snapchat from a mutual friend. The two started talking every day during their winter break and made plans to hang out when they returned to campus.

The first time Mitch and Julia hung out outside of class was when Mitch so graciously took Julia to a doctor's appointment at 8 am! Julia did not have her car on campus (because freshmen weren't supposed to), but Mitch had his and he offered to take her. A couple days after that, the two had their first date back at Mitch's dorm room where they watched 2 movies in a row.

On June 9th, 2017, the two officially started dating when Mitch asked Julia to be his girlfriend after going on a hike near campus.

1 month later...Julia went to visit Mitch in his home town to meet his parents for the first time! This is one of the couple's first picture together.

Fast forward 4 years, Mitch and Julia graduate from Arcadia University in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple took graduation pictures together around the campus and ended in front of Boyer Hall which is where the two met for the first time.

3 years later, Mitch and Julia bought their first house together in Port Murray, NJ.

The day after closing on their first home, Mitch secretly left work early to set up his proposal for Julia. Julia found this surprise as soon as she unlocked the front door and walked into the house. Of course she said YES!

The beginning of the Blake family! The addition of the prettiest Bernedoodle name Maple :)

On to planning their wedding together in preparation for a lifetime of happiness!
