Julius and Emily (Em) met in high school. While they had the same group of friends, they never really saw each other except for at parties and other large gatherings. They both attended Ohio University (Go Bobcats), and again had many mutual friends and even had a class together! Julius was much closer to Liz, Em's twin sister. While Em asked Liz a number of times to set her up with Julius immediately after college, the timing just wasn't right. However, on February 4th, 2021, Emily and Julius were at the same party together and Em needed a quick fake boyfriend. Julius came to the rescue, and to make a long story short, quickly changed his title to boyfriend and eventually fiancé on January 20th, 2023. The rest, as they say, is history.
