Their story began in high school during senior year, when Julia and Dillon shared a class and quickly became friends. When prom season arrived, Julia invited Dillon to attend with her “just as friends.” He made a memorable impression by showing up in an American flag suit — a detail neither of them would forget. After graduation, life took them in different directions, and they didn’t speak for five years. Then one night at Firehouse in Pacific Beach, everything changed. What started as a chance reconnection soon turned into something much greater, and the rest is history.
