John noticed Julie when he was 16 and still going to Source of Life Church. She always sat up in choir and John loved to look at how she smiled when she sang. He later told her that she "seemed to shine up there." As time went on John couldn't shake his feelings for Julie and he started bugging people that he though would know her to introduce him to his dream girl. Eventually, after asking Lesi multiple times and not getting anywhere, Ben Babak got them talking through Snapchat. That led them to their first date at Wendy's (yes, it was very awkward and Julie had to talk a lot because John wouldn't). Soon Julie left for school, life happened, and they lost touch. But what's meant to be will be right? They connected again and started officially dating in January of last year. He proposed in September and they have had a blast getting ready for marriage, planning a wedding and building a home together. We can't wait to make every single one of you a part of our special day. Seriously, you all mean so much to us.
