Julie and Corey met in the summer of 2008 at the Chalker Beach "wall" in Old Saybrook, CT, where Corey spent his summers and a town over from where Julie grew up. They didn't talk much, but hung out in a group many times that summer. This was the time in life when people friend requested every person they met on Facebook (haha!). So, naturally, the group of guys and girls all became Facebook friends, but didn't really keep in touch after that summer.

Fast forward to 2023 and Corey "liked" a photo Julie posted on Facebook. They hadn't talked in 15 years, but something caught his eye. Julie messaged Corey confused and thinking he messaged the wrong person. But he had not and the rest is history!
