Our story began at Providence College in the Fall of 2019. Gerardo asked Julia if she would be his date to Senior Ring Weekend, and after she said yes he also asked her to be his girlfriend later that same night. Within a couple of months, Julia headed back home to New Jersey and Gerardo returned to Texas. Those months quickly turned into a few years of late-night FaceTime calls, airport trips, and traveling to great places together. On one of these trips, we ventured to Government Canyon State Park in San Antonio, Texas, where at the peak of a hike in 100+ degree weather, Gerardo asked Julia if she would marry him. She of course said yes; Gerardo moved to New Jersey not long after to begin studying at Rutgers Newark Law School. We're both excited to celebrate our marriage and begin this next chapter of our lives together!
