Bao & Julie met their freshman year at University of Texas at Arlington, age 18. They both kind of had an idea about each other, but had never formally met. Bao knew Julie's older sister, Tram Anh, through a group they were in called FSA. They had officially met on the steps of the library staircase at UTA. Julie saw Bao when she had walked in but initially tried to hurry past the entrance since she thought Bao was cute, but wasn't prepared to meet him that day because she was looking rough. Bao saw her rush by and tried to catch her but she had already gone up the stairs. He hurried to the staircase and by a stroke of luck or by fate, she was stopped on the stairs talking to a friend that Bao knew as well. He introduced himself and the rest is pretty much history. They hit it off from the start and are now getting married! Bao & Julie have been dating for 7 years this past January and are set to marry in July of this year. They attribute who they are to their friends and family, but most importantly, they thank God for the joy of the journey of dating, and for overseeing their growth with one another, and for the great privilege to join in Holy Matrimony. God has seen them through so many trials and truly walked with them in their relationship. To God be the Glory :)
