Sam & Julia's Wedding

Our Wedding

In the summer of 2002, Julia was born in northwestern Indiana and Sam was born in northern New York. 19 years later, they met in a Japanese class at the University of Notre Dame. Throughout the class, Sam and Julia had not spoken much until their first test day. While studying together in the library, they realized they related in many ways. Sharing loves of music, art, cultures, adventuring, learning, and animals (especially cats and capybaras), Julia and Sam started dating. Eventually, they both realized they wanted to teach, and thus continued their education (with a focus in pedagogy) near Sam's hometown. In New York, they began to grow a family of three cats: Noko, Laura, and—most recently—Charlotte. Sam and Julia got engaged in the summer of 2024, started teaching chemistry and art that fall, and bought a house in the winter. Since then, the two have been working on making their new house a home and enjoying the moments they can find together.
