THE BARRYS

We met in 2014, being introduced by mutual friends. We dated for most of high school and decided to part ways before going into college. Frank spent his freshman year in Columbia at the University of Missouri and Julia in Tuscaloosa at the University of Alabama. After a semester apart and coming back together for Christmas break, we decided we couldn't have it any other way than being together :) We did a year of long distance before Julia transferred to Mizzou and we finished out our college experiences together. Frank graduated in December 2022 and shortly moved to Salina for his first work project. While Julia was finishing up nursing school in Columbia, another year of long distance began. Finally, after 1.5 years of long distance, and 9 years together, we moved in together in September 2024. After a short 9 months in KC, we packed up and moved up north! Sioux Falls is home for now but who knows what's to come. We know as long as we have each other it doesn't matter where we end up! We truly couldn’t imagine our relationship or celebrating this day without all our loved ones. You have shaped our relationship in some way and we are so incredibly grateful for the constant love and support. We are so excited to celebrate with you!
