Like all good millennials, we met on a dating app. Our first date on May 10, 2019 was so much fun that we never really stopped the conversation since. The universe tested us nonetheless: within a month, Chris received notice that he was accepted to a nursing program at The State College of Florida, to which he applied before we met. Weighing the decision to go was an agonizing six weeks as neither of us wanted to be apart for 2 years. Julie was super calm about all of it. Starting that August, we took turns visiting each other - with Chris in particular making many trips back up to Philadelphia. We hated saying goodbye, and it turned out we didn’t have to for long as March 2020 was right around the corner. Upon notice of remote work, Julie went to "wait out the pandemic" in Florida. Once her work went back to a hybrid setting, the second and final year of long-distance wasn't so bad and the end was in sight. We've been living happily together in Philadelphia since August 2021 with our two very special fur children. We're so excited to have you join us here on our special day.
