We met through good friends in the fall of 2019 and quickly became friends ourselves. After a few months of getting to know each other and some adorable dates, in January of 2020 we became an official couple. The next five years were filled with love, laughter and so many adventures; from the deserts and canyons in Utah, the forests in Colorado to beaches in Mexico where we would eventually get engaged. Our story has had an exciting and beautiful beginning so far, and we’re so excited to have this opportunity to celebrate this new chapter of our journey with everyone!

The sun is about to set on the beach in Rocky Point Mexico. There was hardly a cloud in the sky, and the sunset was painting the sky orange and pink. We were surrounded by my family with some happy hour snacks just watching and chatting. Julian had been asking me to get a better look farther down the beach, and I eventually agreed. I was oblivious as we walked a few yards away from our group. He was so nervous, but got my mom on board to take pictures at the last minute and somehow timed it perfectly to propose as the sun set. That spot in Mexico has always been important to my family and to me, but now it holds an even more special meaning for us.
