Brandon felt love at first sight with Julia, and so he flew to Russia after just a few weeks of getting to know her on the phone and through videochat.
The couple dated for five months long-distance and then Brandon invited Julia to join him in Iceland, where he proposed marriage to her and the pair got engaged.
Brandon and Julia ultimately had a "perfect" reunion at the airport, but Julia was upset to learn she'd have to sleep in a separate bedroom from Brandon at his parents' house while Brandon attempted to save some money.
Brandon's mother Betty was also pushing for Julia to take contraception when Julia didn't want to.
"I can't control my mother. I can't control how they will interact. They both have really strong personalities, and I just feel like they're going to clash," Brandon lamented in a confessional.
Once at the farm in Virginia, it didn't take Julia long to realize she hated the chores -- such as feeding the pigs -- and waking up early every morning.
"I don't want this. This is not the life [of] my dreams. Brandon say we need to stay here before we marry, but I say to him, 'No, Brandon, this is not going to work.' I need to leave," Julia vented in a confessional.
Julia admitted she was ready to go back to Russia after only one day of working at his parents' farm.
"I wish she would see this as an opportunity and just give life on the farm a chance," Brandon told the cameras.

But Brandon and Julia still set a wedding date for May 9, even though Brandon felt torn between Julia and his disappointed parents, who believed Brandon had neglected his responsibilities at the farm.
Brandon made Julia his top priority and promised her that he'd be the man she wanted him to be.
Brandon was ready to choose Julia over everything, so he told his parents that Julia was unhappy and giving him an ultimatum to move somewhere else or break up.
In order to not lose their son, Betty and Brandon's father Ron agreed to let the couple sleep in the same bed.
In April 2020, Julia still had one month to go on her K-1 visa but coronavirus was rapidly spreading and posed a problem for her pending nuptials, which she complained Brandon didn't seem excited about.
Brandon worried about rushing into a marriage, but he said he wasn't ready to give up on his relationship with Julia.
Brandon noted that when he and Julia weren't fighting, they had so much fun together and that's what he loved about her.
When the pair had a full month left to marry on Julia's K-1 visa, they decided to move the wedding up in fear someone could test positive for COVID-19 close to the original wedding date.

"Brandon, marry [does] not mean we [won't] divorce after, if we have more problems and not fix [them]," Julia replied.
"Are you threatening with divorce before we've even gotten married?" Brandon asked.
"I try to say what happen if we [don't] stop and do not hear each other," Julia explained.
"That's kind of a threat," Brandon noted.
Brandon knew Julia would calm down and be okay, and he explained they were always able to work through their issues and resolve them with a heart-to-heart conversation.
On the couple's wedding day, Julia wore a dress she didn't love and did her own hair and makeup for the church ceremony, but she was focused on marrying the love of her life.
During the wedding, Julia and Brandon exchanged vows in each other's languages, which Julia thought would be incredibly sweet, romantic and personal.
Brandon read his vows in Russian and said, "How did I get so lucky to meet you? How did I get so lucky to call you my love? I feel like the happiest man in the world. From this moment on, you are my priority. I love you and I need you forever."

Julia cried tears of joy as Brandon read his vows, and she responded by promising to love him always as well as appreciate and respect him. Julia vowed to always make protein cookies and love him forever as his "Russian angel."
On 90 Day Fiance's Season 8 Tell-All special, Julia revealed there were "more rules" in Brandon's parents' home than ever before even though she and Brandon were officially married.

Brandon insisted he had looked at property to buy or rent before Julia moved to America but she didn't like her options.
Julia wanted to leave the farm and be "the boss" in her own life. She also mentioned how she wouldn't mind having a child if she were to get pregnant by accident, but Brandon insisted she wasn't even ready to take care of a dog.
On the sixth-season premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Brandon and Julia were packing their bags for a trip to Las Vegas. Brandon gushed about how they were going to enjoy a trip all by themselves without his parents around.
Julia admitted living with Brandon's parents was crazy and the situation "pushed [her] for an explosion" at times, but Julia said marrying Brandon was the best choice of her life.

Brandon told the cameras he and Julia still had a lot to learn about each other but he felt so lucky to be married to her.
Brandon revealed he was in debt but had received a new job offer. Brandon planned to move to a new company, working less hours but making more money -- which thrilled Julia.
Brandon's father Rob said Brandon had become "submissive" to Julia's every "whim," such as visiting Las Vegas. Ron joked that his son was "whipped" by Julia.
Julia hoped this trip would change Brandon's mind about moving to a big city because she confessed that she never wanted to go back to the farm.
Brandon and Julia later arrived in Vegas and Julia suggested they should move there. Brandon, however, laughed and said that's not real life and it wouldn't be realistic for them to live in a big expensive city like that.
Brandon explained to the cameras he and Julia weren't financially stable enough to make this jump overnight and he'd also have to obtain a license to work in Las Vegas, which would be a process.

Julia expressed how she was tired of Brandon making promises and not living up to them because he had said they'd move together after she relocated to the U.S.

Brandon recalled saying they'd save money before moving and Las Vegas was never an option. Brandon asked Julia to be patient because everything would work out in the long run.
"He make me angry and sad! I moved here from Russia and Brandon won't move to a different city for me," Julia lamented, adding that she could move somewhere alone once she received her work permit.

"Bad omens of a wedding. I do not believe in these signs. do you know how many of them? lots of. the whole world must be divorced, since all superstitions cannot be observed. Brandon didn't want to go to the store, but I insisted," Julia wrote.

Pictures of the couple go back for months, and Julia also conducted a Q&A with her followers on Instagram Stories earlier this year and confirmed she enjoys living in the United States.

"I try to learn everything but it's so hard for me," Julia added.
Julia also revealed she currently has a great relationship with Brandon's parents, although there was sometimes tension between them on 90 Day Fiance's eighth season.
A fan asked how Julia essentially puts up with her "parents-in-law," and Julia responded, "I love my parents a lot because my parents want what is best for me. If I could choose other parents I would never choose other parents because my parents are the best and I love them a lot."
In addition, Julia said she hopes she can "start working" soon and put her degree in design to good use in either apartments or homes.
As far as her favorite experience in the United States goes, Julia revealed, "I like people in America because everyone smiles and everyone tries to help. You never ask for help but people try. This is so cool."
When asked whether she likes Russia or America better, Julia said there are some things she likes better in Russia and other things she likes better in the United States.
She noted the countries are just "different." For example, Julia said she cannot drive yet in America while she has her license back in Russia.
Julia shared excitement, however, when someone mentioned all the states she can travel to in the United States. Julia said she'd love to visit New York especially.
