We met at a mutual friend's birthday party in 2010, but didn't quite become close until August 2011. We shared a group of friends and were hanging out a lot, but it wasn't until Julian asked me to be his dance partner for a school performance that things started to get more serious. We saw each other a few times a week for rehearsals, so we started to develop a close relationship. In November it clicked that we were destined for more than just friends, and in December we went on our first date! A few weeks after that, at a romantic christmas party on December 23rd, we became boyfriend and girlfriend. 10 years later, Julian has a beard and we are happily engaged!
