Tom and Julia met on a Sunday during dinner that Barbara, Tom's hometown friend, invited them both to. As Julia was walking out Tom was walking in and they met each other in passing. The next Sunday Julia invited Barbara over to her place for dinner and who should Barbara bring but Tom. As everyone talked and laughed over dinner, Julia spotted Tom sitting next to Barbara and pulled up a chair next to Tom. There was something Julia was intrigued about Tom and so she batted her eyes in an attempt to get Tom to ask her out. The flirting worked, and Tom asked Julia out on a date for the next week.
Behind the scenes- On Thursday June 7th Tom and Julia were to leave for Jerome to spend the night and then head to California the next day for Tom to meet Julia's family. What she didn't know is that Tom had picked up the ring that afternoon, showed his family and a couple close friends and then called her family asking permission that day. Julia was at work until 11:30 pm and when he came to pick her up they were excited to begin their road trip. About 30 minutes into the drive to Idaho Falls Tom turns to Julia and says "Don't be pissed.." and she responds "why would I be pissed?" As Tom is driving says "I can't wait any longer" pulls out the ring while driving and asks "Julia will you marry me?" after a short pause Julia shouts "IN THE CAR??!!!" Says "yes of course Tom!" And so #dreamteamJT started their journey!
