How we met

The story of Julian and Sabrina begins in Montgomery, Alabama where they were students at Alabama State University. Julian first laid eyes on Sabrina at a pool party but did not get a chance to speak to her until 2 weeks later in the library. Julian expressed “I was hoping to see her again in the cafeteria, student center hanging out, or at least a party.” The next time Julian would see Sabrina would be in the library on a Friday night. Sabrina states, “I was shocked to see him in there on a Friday, we locked eyes, he sat beside me, pulled out his laptop and began studying.” Julian was equally surprised that the next time he saw Sabrina was in the library. “I just knew I had to say something, I could not risk going another 2 weeks before I saw her again.” While Julian did not get her phone number, Sabrina did agree to meet him at the River Walk downtown Montgomery the following week to chill. Sabrina and Julian talked for hours about their dreams, goals, and hobbies they enjoyed while enjoying the serenity of the River Walk. After being best friends for a year, Julian asked Sabrina to be his girlfriend and she said Yes.

Our Proposal

After leaving Alabama State University, Sabrina moved to Jacksonville, Florida and Julian moved to Auburn, Alabama. They were both determined to not let the distance drive them apart. Julian would surprise Sabrina by showing up unexpectedly. “We would get off facetime around 10 pm and I would hear knocking on my door at 7 am the next morning. He would be right there with flowers, that made me feel special.” Sabrina would send Julian care packages and cards with motivational quotes. Julian surprised Sabrina on vacation in San Francisco and proposed at the Palace of Fine Arts. Now, we are so looking forward to starting this new chapter together and can’t wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people!
