OUR STORY
We both studied abroad in Cannes, France in Spring 2016. Isaac went for the Cannes Film Festival, while Julia went for the beach! Her mom studied there in college as well and knew Julia would love it.
In Cannes, Isaac asked Julia out on a date to New York New York (why didn't he take her to a French restaurant?!)
Isaac officially asked Julia to be his girlfriend a few days after their first date.
Isaac and Julia had to live on separate coasts while they finished college before they could live in the same city.
Isaac flew to Boston to visit Julia and her family. They explored her hometown and a fun time experiencing Boston!
Julia came to Seattle to visit Isaac and meet his family. We also went to a Mariners game and rode the Great Wheel!
Julia and her brother Kyle drove cross-country from North Attleboro to LA to move Julia into an apartment a few minutes away from Isaac. Julia's mom Cheryl flew out to help her move in and Isaac's mom Christa came to them!
After Julia unofficially moved into Isaac's apartment when her car was stolen during COVID, they got their first apartment together and moved in on Isaac's birthday.
All of the parents visited LA so they can all spend time together! During the trip, Isaac asked Julia's parents for their blessing to propose to Julia - their response was, "What took so long?!" (thankfully followed by an enthusiastic yes).
Isaac hinted to Julia that he would propose in Hawaii, then surprised her in LA with a special picnic... and a ring!
