Tamara and Julian met in the Fall of 2017 when they joined Grupo Folklorico Luna y Sol while they were both undergraduate students at San Jose State University. Little did they know that their initial encounter as dance mates would eventually lead them down the aisle. Julian left the group in 2018 so he could focus on school, Tamara kept dancing all through the pandemic. Fast forward to the winter of 2021, Julian found himself back in the group lending a helping hand (or feet) with the Christmas in the Park performance. Late night rehearsals and a post featuring Julian on Tamara's Instagram sparked something in him. Taking a leap of confidence, Julian decided to "slide" into Tamara's DMs. After their third date on New Years Day, at the roller rink, it became clear that their connection was growing stronger with each passing day. Just how you see two characters fall in love in a romantic comedy, Tamara and Julian were living one in real life. They are both hopeless romantics with a love for coffee, travel, fashion, and dance.
