Our Wedding

JJ and Julia’s love story began in the summer of 2021, when fate brought them together outside a lively Marine bar in San Clemente. What started as a spontaneous weekend escape led to a first date, a magical summer, and a love that quickly grew into a life together. From their cozy Oceanside apartment to welcoming their daughter Catalina in 2022, and moving across the country to Boston to follow JJ’s dream of becoming a Boston firefighter, their journey has been full of adventure, laughter, and deep devotion. Their son James joined the family in the spring of 2024, just before JJ proposed to Julia on Mayflower Beach with a ring he designed just for her. Now, they look forward to saying “I do” in the place where it all began—surrounded by the people they love most.
