Julia and Nick met online in 2021 and started chatting on Valentine’s Day. Their first date was ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery, and by March 11 they made it official. Even though they were in college at different schools, they quickly realized how well they clicked and supported each other through everything. After graduation—Julia with her bachelor’s degree and Nick with his Doctor of Physical Therapy—they moved in together in the summer of 2024. That August, they welcomed their puppy, Nash, who’s been keeping them on their toes ever since. Nick proposed on March 8, 2025, at a park in Chesterfield with the help of family and friends. Julia thought she was just going to a photoshoot and the moment turned out to be unforgettable. Now they live in Creve Coeur, enjoying life with Nash, eating way too much ice cream, and cheering each other on through every goal and adventure. They’re so excited to celebrate with all of their friends and family on October 17, 2026.
