Our Story

A little over 10 years ago Julian and Ariana met through a mutual friend while preparing for a "Dynamic Duos" date party for Ariana's sorority at the University of Kentucky. Together with two others, they formed a group of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in October 2013.
Ariana and Julian officially started their relationship on December 22, 2013 and have been together ever since. Over the course of their relationship they've moved from Kentucky to DC and back again, traveled together to 7 countries, and made countless new friends and memories along the way.
Through the ups and downs, they've become stronger together and built a full life. On September 25, 2023 with the help of a sweet dog named Mela and a few black truffles, Julian asked Ariana to marry him.
On March 9, 2024 they said their vows in a private ceremony with their parents and siblings present.
