Jenna and Julien met during a busy season of life, thanks to great timing (and unofficially, their mutual friend Sami). Their first date at The Peacock Room in New Orleans in November 2021 was one of those nights where everything just felt easy, and they both left knowing it probably wouldn’t be the last.

From the start, they were pretty much inseparable. By February 2022, they were officially together and saying their first “I love you’s.” Even a stretch of long distance couldn’t slow them down — it just made them more sure about choosing each other.

Since then, life has taken them through a lot of changes and new chapters, each one helping shape the life they’re building together. Phoenix brought a new adventure and their puppy, Louie, and through every move and big decision, they’ve had constant love and support from their families, which has meant more than they can say.

No matter where they’ve been, home has always just meant being together — cooking dinner, dancing in the kitchen, music playing in the background, and laughing way more than they probably should.

Now, in the middle of wedding planning, Jenna and Julien are just really grateful — for the love they found in each other, for the families who’ve supported them every step of the way, and for the life they’re building together. They can’t wait to celebrate with everyone and start this next chapter side by side.
