Our Story

Justin and Julia have lived just a town over from each other for years, yet their paths never crossed until March 12th. That was the day they finally met and went on their first date to Quickleys, where they felt an instant connection. From that moment, they couldn’t get enough of each other. They quickly fell into a rhythm of enjoying the little things in life together—going out to eat, watching movies (especially scary ones), and spending hours talking. Julia would often chat away, but what made their relationship truly special was that Justin, who wasn’t usually one to open up, found himself sharing more with Julia than he ever had with anyone else. It was a unique bond, one that both cherished deeply.

In the short time they had, they made unforgettable memories, including a magical trip to Disneyland and a beach getaway. These experiences became milestones in their relationship, solidifying their connection as they shared their joy and excitement with each other.

But soon, they faced the challenge of a long-distance relationship as Justin headed off to Navy bootcamp. For ten weeks, their only communication was through letters and a few cherished phone calls. Yet, instead of weakening their bond, the distance only made their love stronger. Through their letters, they explored new depths of their relationship, sharing thoughts and feelings that brought them even closer.

By the time Justin’s training ended, they both knew without a doubt that they couldn’t live without each other. It became clear that they were meant to be together. On Justin’s graduation day, by the lake, he couldn’t wait another moment. In a scene that was beyond beautiful, Justin asked Julia to marry him, sealing their commitment to a future together. Just as their journey so far has been filled with love, adventure, and deep connection, their marriage will be a continuation of the beautiful story they’ve already begun writing.
