Evan and Julie both grew up in Roxborough, and while they knew of each other and their older brothers were friends, they ran in different circles. They both happened to be going to the same gym in 2019, and when their trainer (shout out Charles!) posted an Instagram story mentioning Julie, Evan saw it and started following her. The very next night they were both out with friends on Main Street in Manayunk and coincidentally ran into each other. Evan told his friend Kyle that the first Instagram story Julie posted, he was diving in with a message. Naturally when she posted a picture of her bacon, egg and cheese hangover cure (from the kitchen of Sam & Mike) the next morning, he slid right into her DM's ("that bagel looks bangin!!") He asked her out for coffee at Anthony's on 9th Street in South Philly's Italian Market. They got engaged out front of that same coffee shop 4.5 years later on March 23, 2024, a rainy Saturday when she thought they were going to 9th Street to stock up on meats at the butcher... but Evan had much bigger plans. All that to say - workout, shoot your shot, eat your meats, and you might just find love. <3
