Our Wedding

Abby and Alec met freshman year and Abby had a huge crush on Alec. It wasn't until sophomore year when Alec became roommates with one of Abby's close friends, that they began to talk and spend more time together. One day, Alec and Abby planned to watch a movie with a group of their friends and everyone bailed except for them. As they watched the movie together, sparks flew! The rest is history :)
