Erik and Julie were both born and raised in southern California, traveled to the east coast for their post-graduate training, and moved to central Texas to work. Despite their similar journeys, it wasn't until late November 2017 that they finally met through eHarmony and found they shared similar interests in dogs, reading, and games. On December 3, 2017, they officially became a couple. On Earth Day 2019, Erik proposed (and Julie said yes). On March 14, 2021, they plan to marry. They felt it fitting to celebrate their wedding on 3/'21 as a palindrome to their start date and on Pi Day to symbolize their neverending love (and nerdiness). Due to COVID, the wedding ceremony will be performed online and the reception has been pushed off for a year but our hope is that we will all be able to reunite and celebrate our 1 year anniversary with you in 2022!
