Getting Married September 20, 2025.

Isabella and Julian met during their senior year at Illinois State University in 2019. They were randomly paired in a group project and only met in person once before the world shut down. After finishing the project virtually, they went their separate ways—until a few months later, when Isabella got a Snapchat friend suggestion for someone she might know.

She recognized Julian’s name and added him—and he added her back immediately. They started talking, went on a date the very next day, and have been together ever since. Julian officially asked her to be his girlfriend on October 17, 2020, during a weekend trip to New Buffalo, Michigan.

Nearly five years, three cats, and countless adventures later, Julian proposed on July 6, 2024, at the pier of Isabella’s family’s lake house on Lake Geneva. Followed by a surprise engagement party aboard Gage’s Polaris, filled with all their closest friends and family!

They’ve spent many summers in Lake Geneva, and it’s become one of the most meaningful places to both of them.

Now, they can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
