Our Story

How We Met

It was April 15, 2017. While everyone else had left for Easter, a Los Angelino and a Lithuanian were too far to make it home to their families for the long weekend. Jillian and a friend were at their college hill bar, Milos, when they started talking to a couple of tall Lafayette basketball players. Paulius bought Jillian a drink and you'd think the rest was history. He asked for her number but when Jillian saw that he didn't save it in his phone, she assumed Paulius just wasn't interested. Turns out it was a silly, drunken accident! One Facebook message sent to clear things up and 5+ years later, Jillian and Paulius both graduated college, survived a lot of long distance, traveled the world visiting each other, and are now finally living life in the same city and enjoying their engagement!
