Tiger and Julia met as young eighteen year olds during their freshman year at the University of Florida. They were set up on a blind date for Julia’s very first sorority date function through mutual friends. The two of them immediately knew there was a connection and started dating shortly thereafter. They remained inseparable throughout their time at UF and made countless memories with many of their closest friends at school. After graduating Julia went to Fort Lauderdale to complete her doctorate degree and Tiger went back to Orlando to work as a mechanical engineer, starting years of long distance. Shortly after graduating Tiger got their golden retriever, Ziggi, who has become their pride & joy. Tiger (and Ziggi) ended up moving down to South Florida while Julia finished optometry school. They then moved back to Julias hometown Tampa, FL where the couple currently reside and work. Tiger *finally* popped the question in August of 2025! Julia & Tiger cannot wait to host their closest family and friends in the beautiful Tuscan countryside for a weekend of events.
