Both Julia and Andy were Resident Assistants at their University during their sophomore year of college. In the beginning of October, Andy invited Julia to play pickleball with some friends. After a few weeks Andy shared that his floor had decided to hang up a large amount of Christmas lights. Julia challenged his dorm, and the great Christmas war began! With continued pickleball play, and phone conversations, Julia and Andy went on their first date at the University's coffee shop on November 10th, 2021. After a couple more dates and a Christmas break between, Andy and Julia "officially" became a couple on January 13th, 2022. Two years from that date, Andy proposed on a beautiful beach in Florida and Julia said yes!
