We both went to Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore but didn't know each other until senior year. Julia noticed Fran in advertising management class and thought he was cute and might be her roommate's boyfriend's friend. After some phone calls and pictures it turned out they were friends and plans were made to pregame at Fran's apartment that night. Fran will say Julia noticed him first in class but Julia feels this immediate invitation to the pregame shows a mutual noticing of each other. Regardless of who saw whom first - the rest was history. We spent senior year together and haven't looked back since. Since then we have moved to Philadelphia, moved out of Philadelphia, traveled to Italy and Curacao, driven the entire West Coast, and spent countless hours on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. On December 30, 2022 in Saint Martin, Fran proposed to Julia and she said yes! We are so excited to share the beginning of this next chapter with our friends and family.
