Many people ask how Vincent and Julia first met, and it all started during their freshman year of college. One October evening, Vincent found himself locked out of his dorm room thanks to his roommate. With nowhere else to go, he turned to a friend for help. That friend happened to lead him to Julia’s room to hang out. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of their story…

Vincent and Julia first crossed paths in late 2019, during their freshman year of college. Vincent was a football player, and Julia was pursuing her nursing degree. Their story truly began shortly after Halloween, setting the stage for something neither of them could have predicted…

Their first date took place at The Frog Restaurant in Morristown, a charming spot where they began to get to know each other better. A few weeks later, in December, Vincent asked Julia to be his girlfriend—but to his surprise, she said no. Why? Who knows!

Luckily, Vincent didn’t give up. On February 7, 2020, he asked her again, and this time, Julia said yes without hesitation. From that moment on, they were inseparable, and their love story truly began.

The day started simply. Julia worked a morning daycare shift before driving to Vincent’s house, and together they headed to LBI. They grabbed lunch at Tucker’s Tavern, then stopped briefly at B&B to browse a sale before arriving at Grandpa Wigley’s beach house to take out the bikes.

While Julia prepared the bikes, Vincent discreetly grabbed the ring box from his car—it had been hidden there all along. They biked to Bay Village, parked, and walked along the bay. That’s when Vincent got down on one knee and popped the question. Julia, overjoyed, said yes without hesitation and hugged him tightly.

But the night wasn’t over yet…

Right after Vincent proposed, he revealed a few surprises for Julia. The first was a hidden photographer who captured the proposal and took them on a quick photoshoot. The second? They had to drive back up north to find out.

Vincent drove them toward East Hanover, keeping Julia in suspense. When they arrived at The Office, he explained the plan: they were about to surprise Julia’s parents, who thought they were meeting Vincent’s parents for dinner.

When Julia walked in and revealed the big news, her parents were completely shocked and overjoyed. The room erupted with excitement as everyone celebrated the engagement together. The night was filled with laughter, stories, and love, marking the perfect ending to a day they would never forget.
