J & J

Jack and Julia first met in January of 2021. During this time, Julia was working as an ICU nurse in Macon, GA and Jack was finishing his time at Fort Benning, GA as an Army Infantry Officer. The two met on a dating app, thanks Hinge! They instantly connected with their common interests and love for the outdoors. The two went hiking at Pine Mountain for their first date, and on the second date, Jack took Julia to the gun range…and so the love story began. The couple’s favorite memory is when they hiked through Zion National Park in Utah during the Summer of 2021. One day during the trip, they found themselves caught in a massive thunderstorm while hiking along a mountain ridge. Exposed to the elements, J&J stopped hiking and hid under a tent's rain fly. Lighting was striking around them and hail began to pelt their fly. Despite being soaked and cold, all fear dissipated and the only thing J&J could do was laugh together. When they came off the mountain, they discovered the storm triggered a landslide which made national news. In February of 2022 Jack proposed to Julia alongside the Tennessee River at a picnic. Afterwards, the two headed to a cabin in Asheville, NC where a surprise was waiting- a cabin filled with their friends ready to celebrate! June 18th will be coming up soon and Jack and Julia are so excited to start their lives together! Song of Solomon 3:4 says “I have found the one my soul loves”. This is true for J & J. Thank you in advance for being a part of this special day!
