Our Wedding

Our paths crossed for the first time seven years ago, but we had no idea we would end up here together. In 2009 Megan left the life she had made in Birmingham, AL to seek adventure in Peru, serving in the US Peace Corps. Around the same time, Julio defected from life under the oppressive Cuban dictatorship and came to the US by way of Belgium. Later that year he moved to Birmingham, but Megan was already in Peru. Fortunately, Megan took a trip back to the US in May 2010. There she visited family and friends in Birmingham and went out for her favorite activity...salsa dancing! There she saw her friend, Maria, who introduced her to Julio. They danced and became friends, but nothing more. Megan went back to Peru and Julio continued with his life and studies in Birmingham. Fast forward 6 years...September 23, 2016. Megan had settled in Atlanta after the Peace Corps and Julio had moved to Atlanta to finish his PhD. However, neither had any idea the other was in the same city. Until, on a rare impulse, Megan decided to go Salsa dancing and posted a selfie on Facebook (Megan doesn't post on FB often). With a stroke of luck, fate, divine intervention, Julio happened to see the picture, contacted Megan and they met and danced again for the first time in years. The rest, as they say, is history. We chose our wedding date because it is exactly 1 year from the day we met (again) here in Atlanta. We are excited to share this significant date and event with you!
