Wedding bells are ringing!

The two met back in 9th grade, just a couple of band kids, one woodwind and one brass player. Juliana asked the cutest saxophone player in band to the Sadie Hawkins Dance (via band themed poster) and by the grace of God, he said yes!! They went to the dance, had a blast, and only grew closer over the next few months as "boyfriend and girlfriend". Then, the time came for Juliana to move away, all the way to Maryland. They decided to simply remain friends, marking their first heartbreak. The years passed by, and Juliana and Brandon stayed good friends, talking about school and band, and eventually about college majors and roommates. Flash forward to 2023, Juliana moved back to Florida for an internship at ZooTampa, and had the chance to reconnect with Brandon in person. He invited her to the aquarium (he knows her so well), and they spent the entire day together. The next day, June 1st, 2023, Brandon called Juliana and asked if she wanted to "pick up where they left off". After a few seconds of pure excitement keeping her from speaking, she agreed!!! Two years later, on June 1st, 2025, Brandon took Juliana on a beautiful lakeside hike in Stone Mountain, GA where he got down one one knee and asked the most important question he ever will, "Will you marry me?". Then it was her turn to say yes! The two have been growing closer and closer throughout their relationship - supporting each other, lifting each other up, pointing each other to God, and pushing each other to be the very best versions of themselves. Now, they are thrilled to be celebrating their wedding with their closest friends and family. Thank you for supporting them all of these years!
