Steven and Julia met in late 2015 while they were both running cross country for different high schools. It wasn’t until the end of the next track season however when they really became friends. Steven asked Julia to be his girlfriend on June 17th, 2016. Their relationship bloomed from there and they stuck by each other’s side throught their senior year of highschool into college. They both attend Southern Utah University where Steven plans to get his degree in accountancy and Julia in Elementary Education and Special Education.
Julia and Steven were in California for one last trip before returning to shool for the fall semester. They went to Laguna Beach. When they got there, Steven led Julia down a long wooden staircase leading to a secluded beach where there was a question mark laid out with rose petals and candles. Steven led Julia to the question mark and that’s when he popped the question! The proposal was planned to such perfection and was absolutely beautiful! Now, they can’t wait to start their lives together!
