Juliana and Lucas's story began long before either of them realized it. They first knew each other at New Trier, passing through the same hallways and seeing each other here and there. A few years later, they both ended up at the University of Arizona, crossing paths again beneath the desert sun. Then, one summer night in Chicago, they found each other again. What was meant to be one fun date quickly turned into three, they talked for hours, laughed constantly, totally inseparable from the start. One of those early August nights brought them to The Drake Hotel, wandering through its grand halls, no idea how much that place would one day mean. Five years later, on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2026, they'll walk through those same doors again, this time to get married, ring in the new year, and celebrate with the people they love most.
