Julia and Stephen met through mutual friends (shout-out Jules and Katherine!!!) at a party in November 2016. On December 3, they officially started dating. This is their first picture together, from Julia's Zadie's 80th birthday party (Stephen was a champ and met half of Julia's family after two weeks of dating, which wasn't intense at all!). Thus began 2.5 years of long-distance dating between Boston and New Haven.

First NYE party with Long Island friends!

First trip together - Washington, D.C. (which you would never know based on this photo, the only one we took together...)

J&S move into their apartment in NYC, only to hop on an airplane to Bangkok later that night for a three-week trip to Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Brilliant or crazy? You decide!
