Once Upon a Dream…

It all began in September 2022 when Julia’s uncle invited her mom, sister, and her out to Canyon Lake for a weekend getaway with his friends and their kids. The weekend was filled with swimming, fishing, and just enjoying the simple pleasures of being together. Little did Julia know, it would turn into the beginning of something truly special. During that weekend, Julia met Evan. They spent time together as a group and family, bonding over shared moments and even going night fishing. There was an undeniable connection between them, something that felt natural and easy. Though they both left the weekend with new memories, they couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more to explore. Fast forward to February 2023. Julia decided to take the plunge and asked Evan if he’d be interested in going on a date. From that moment on, they were inseparable. Whether it was a cozy night in, an exciting trip, or even the mundane moments like running errands, every second spent together felt like the start of something even more incredible. By April 2023, they found themselves at Stagecoach, surrounded by music and festival energy. But the day took a sharp turn when one of Julia’s friends got injured. They stayed up late together, making sure she was okay. In the midst of the chaos, Evan pulled Julia into the kitchen, away from everything else. He looked at her and quietly said, "I’m falling in love with you." It was such a simple yet profound moment. With everything happening around them, it felt as though time had slowed, and in that instant, it was just the two of them. From that day forward, their bond only grew deeper. Fast forward to September 2024, Evan took Julia on a date to the breathtaking San Clemente Bluffs. With the ocean stretching out before them, and the air was cool and calm, Evan got down on one knee and asked Julia the most important question of their lives. Surrounded by the beauty of nature and their shared history, Julia said “yes,” marking the beginning of the rest of their incredible journey together.
