Our story began in the most classic of ways — at a restaurant. Dylan was the line cook, Julie was the server, and between after-hours drinks, free meal requests, and shared laughs, a connection sparked that neither of us could ignore. It didn’t take long before we realized that what started as late-night conversations over plates of fries turned into something much deeper.
From there, the adventures never stopped. We road-tripped across the country, went camping, hiked through the great outdoors, and spent countless hours exploring what our future together might look like. Along the way, we supported each other's dreams — headed to Orlando for Julie to pursue her Master of Social Work degree at UCF, while Dylan dove into his passion for web development.
With two energetic pups in tow, we started building our family and home, taking each step as a team. Eventually, we made the move back to South Florida to be closer to our families, a place where we could plant new memories and continue growing together.
Then, one unforgettable day — on Dylan’s brother’s birthday, no less, with the help of Dan and Olivia — Dylan orchestrated the surprise of a lifetime and proposed in the beautiful setting of Crystal River. Julie, with tears of joy, said yes, and that was the moment we knew the next chapter of our journey was just beginning.
Now, we’re so excited to celebrate our love with all of you and start planning the rest of our lives together. Thank you for being part of this special day!
