Akeyla and Julius had many mutual friends, but their paths didn't truly cross until February 2019. It was at a lively Soulection event in Los Angeles where Akeyla caught Julius' attention. After a night filled with dancing and laughter, Akeyla decided to reach out to Julius and invited him on a date. Their connection blossomed over the next few weeks as they enjoyed several memorable dates together, realizing they had discovered something truly special. As time went by, they celebrated various milestones together, growing closer and more inseparable. Finally, in March 2024, Julius took the next step in their journey and proposed to Akeyla in the breathtaking snowy mountains of Yosemite, surrounded by their loved ones.
