It all started in December 2017, when we met as coworkers. After our first introductions, Brock showed up with a balloon that read “It’s My Day” and a small plant—a sweet, unexpected gesture that made a lasting impression. While we both felt a spark, we were young professionals focused on our careers, so we stayed in the coworker lane… but life, as it often does, had a surprise in store. From Lightning games to office outings, we always seemed to find each other in the crowd—like fate was quietly working behind the scenes. As our friendship grew, so did our connection. We quickly discovered we had a lot in common: a shared love of trying new foods, a mutual enthusiasm for Spanish wine, and a passion for music (though Brock might skip the Taylor Swift playlist). But more than anything else, we just loved to laugh—whether at silly jokes, unexpected moments, or each other’s quirks. Those laughs became the soundtrack to our beginning. Over the years, we ventured to music festivals, danced together until sunrise, and traveled the world side by side. Every trip was an adventure, and each one was punctuated with a tradition: Brock would take Julie to a rose garden. Amsterdam, Punta Cana, Toronto, London, Geneva—every city’s garden told a story of our love in bloom. Our greatest adventure unfolded in Madrid. After six years of exploring the world together, on 08/31/2024, Brock took Julie to a rose garden near the Royal Palace. With the sun shining and roses all around, he got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of their lives together. A life where we grow together—heart to heart, hand in hand—boldly walking toward the future we envision, with love as our constant guide. Now, as we prepare to say “I do,” we find ourselves reflecting on all the laughter, adventures, and quiet moments that brought us here. Every memory has shaped our love into something truly beautiful, and we can’t wait to begin this next chapter as husband and wife. Thank you for sharing in our story—we can’t wait to celebrate with you! With Love, Julie ❤️ Brock
