Remember when poking each other was a thing on Facebook, Julia was dared to poke Dan and say "Bring it on ;)". We've been dating ever since January 16th 2011. Over the years we've traveled to 12 countries, attended plenty of Rutgers tailgates, moved into our first apartment and got a dog named Jameson. In June 2020, Dan and I bought a house in Red Bank and we have been enjoying it ever since.
Julia had a business trip scheduled in Hawaii and Dan tagged along. Before they left for their trip to Hawaii Dan was acting very strange. He told Julia he made a reservation at a nice restaurant on the first day they were there. Dan normally would ask Julia's opinion on where she wanted to eat. When they got to the hotel before the reservation Dan said to Julia let's go watch the sunset. As they were looking out at the sunset Dan pointed to the horizon and said do you think we will see any dolphins. At the time Julia didn't know that was the cue to the photographer Dan hired to capture our engagement pictures. Then, Dan bent the knee and Julia said YES. We had a lovely engagement-moon in Hawaii on Oahu.
