It was the summer of 2017, and Julia was lifeguarding at the beach, soaking up the sun and keeping an eye on the swimmers. Little did she know, that summer would be the beginning of an incredible journey. Patrick’s college roommate was one of her bosses (and good friends), and one day, they all crossed paths. Julia and Patrick hit it off instantly. From the first conversation, they discovered a shared love for adventure, humor, and all things fun. Through late-night talks, spontaneous hangouts, and plenty of laughter, they realized they were meant to be. Fast forward seven years, and now they’re inseparable. They’ve navigated life together, built a home filled with love, and adopted the sweetest dog named Zoey. Their bond is unbreakable, and after four wonderful years of living together, they’re counting down the days until their wedding in July 2025. See you there!
