It all began when we were just 13 years old. Steven and Julie’s paths first crossed through a shared connection: Julie’s brother and Steven were Boy Scouts together. Though we both had crushes on each other at the time, life took us in different directions, and we drifted apart. Little did we know, the spark that had started back then would light up again years later.

Fast forward to July 2021, when fate decided it was time for us to reconnect. What started as a reconnection over old memories quickly blossomed into something more, and before we knew it, we were falling in love.

Since then, we’ve had countless adventures together, creating memories in places like Disneyland, Texas, Reno, San Francisco, and Tahoe. Each trip brought us closer, and we’ve learned so much about one another along the way. In April of 2024, we made an even bigger leap—welcoming our puppy into the family. Our little furball has added so much joy and laughter to our lives, and we couldn’t be happier.

The most magical moment came on December 4th, 2024, when Steven got down on one knee at Disneyland—the place where our love story truly took off—and asked Julie to spend forever with him.

Through all the adventures, the quiet moments, and the challenges life has thrown our way, we’ve built a love that we are so grateful for. And today, we celebrate the beginning of our next great adventure—together, forever.
