We’re tying the Knott!

It all began in the halls of Canby High School where one ordinary day changed their lives forever.. Among the crowd of students, Julia walked into the very classroom she saw Michael for the first time, and as she took a seat, she thought to herself—without knowing a single thing about him—“One day, I’m going to marry him.” Fast forward to the end of her freshman year and his junior year: Julia had Michael skip school with her and spend the day together at the park. Their first kiss didn’t go quite as perfectly as in the movies—it was sweet, a little clumsy, and left them both laughing nervously under the fading sun. But in that imperfect moment, everything felt right. The world seemed to slow down, and from that day on, they were inseparable. By Julia’s senior year, Michael had already graduated and started working. This is when they welcomed their beautiful son, Blake, into the world. Life since then has been a rollercoaster—full of highs, lows, and everything in between. Five and a half years after Blake’s birth, after moving into their first apartment and enduring even a broken collarbone, Michael planned the moment Julia had been dreaming of. One February evening, she walked into a hotel room filled with candles, roses, balloons, and a glowing sign that read, “Will you marry me?” It was the perfect proposal she had imagined for nearly nine years. Through every season of love, every trial, every laugh, and every shared journey—with Blake and their cat Millie by their side—Julia and Michael have built a beautiful home together. Now, surrounded by their closest family and friends, the ones who have supported them from the very beginning, they finally get to stand before everyone and commit to a lifetime together. Julia’s fairytale wedding has finally come true—a moment she has imagined since she was a little girl. Every laugh, every tear, and every memory has led them here, to the beginning of their forever.
