Our Mushy Story

Who would've thought our paths would someday meet....

From the first moment we talked on the phone, to meeting in person for the first time, we knew immediately what a special connection we had. As Eric puts it, we were "instant best buddies" which is incredibly true! We met online, however, through mutual friends long ago back in 2017-18, I remember seeing Eric's face on social media and thinking "wow! he's a cutie!" Fast forward to a few months into summer 2023, I saw Eric online again, not from a friend's post, but looking for love, and I knew I had to try my hand :) I was so excited! It was so new and nervous and fun because we have never had a love so deep where we see each other every weekend! How exciting is it to be missed by someone so much and for someone to miss you just as much. We share a deep connection in music, cooking, creating, deep-thinking, nature, animals, people, singing, dancing, everything, and wanting to keep family important and close. We never get tired of one another, and we always figure everything out together :) We have never known a love so easy, healthy, pure, and full of life. We are so excited to get married and be best friends forever! We hope to see you there, and cannot wait for the big day! - Julia and Eric
