Julia and Mike’s love story is one of reconnection. The two met in school at Boston College - Mike was Julia’s mentor at a volunteer organization. However they never dated during their time at BC, graduated and went their separate ways. They reconnected 5 years later on Facebook and have been together ever since. Thank goodness for the internet these days or we might not have any weddings to plan!
One December night after several years of dating, Mike planned a surprise proposal for Julie. While the two were cooking dinner Mike gave Julia a photo book with photos of the two of them together. The last page of the book featured a picture of Mike and the words “Will You Marry Me?”
As we are approaching Julie and Mike’s one year anniversary we are taking a peek back at their fall wedding celebration. The day started with a first look near the monuments with Olivia Jacob Photography (Mike’s reaction might be the cutest thing ever!). The two then headed over to District Winery for a touching and personal ceremony followed by an elegant but relaxed reception. Check back later this week for their wedding video - Mike’s vows are sweet enough to make anyone swoon.
“Fate had a weird way of
circling back over paths
that were meant to cross.”
“‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you now
I’m looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold”
