Unfortunately it was no gushy hallmark love story with these two. Surprise, surprise in a world of technology they met through Tinder/Instagram, and saw each other at a music festival shortly after. Both never imagining that that app, and that festival would have led to their life long soul mate. Thomas had asked Julia out on a date and he took her to a small Italian gelato store. At the time he thought that Mississauga was "too far", but eventually he found himself driving even further to visit Julia at McMaster University. Ever since that first date the two of them have been inseparable & found that they fit into each others big crazily loving families, and began to love the life they were building.
They may not have met in the cutest way but there truly was not a more magical way Thomas could have proposed to Julia. On October 9th, 2020 Thomas proposed at Port Credit Yacht Club on his Dad's sailboat. A place that is very special to the both of them. He got down on one knee and popped the question at sunset, and then spoiled her more with a huge seafood dinner of all of her favourites. He even caught the whole thing on camera with photos and all; just like Julia had always imagined. The surprises continued with both of their families being at Julia's house celebrating their love with bottles of wine, prosecco, & good food. It truly was a night they'll never forget!
