We met at Kingstree Presbyterian Church in the small town of Kingstree, South Carolina. I had been teaching only a short while at Kingstree Middle School, and Alex lived in the nearby town of Lake City, where he worked as a Mechanical Engineer.

It wasn't until 8-9 months later that my car really started our relationship. It had been making a mystery ticking noise, and Alex offered to come see if he could fix it. As he took apart and fixed my vehicle, I caught up on a book. We spent that Saturday afternoon in the Southern sunshine laughing and talking as if we had been friends for years.

The rest, I guess you could say, is history. After dating for more than a year, Alex went home to Nebraska with me last July. After supper in the Old Market in Omaha, we watched the sunset over the pedestrian bridge. One of our best dates had involved a lovely walk across a scenic bridge. As we neared the Iowa/Nebraska border, Alex stepped across the line, and I pretended to be horrified that he had left the state. Then to my complete surprise, Alex got down on one knee and proposed. I said yes, and now we can't wait to celebrate with friends and family as we start our marriage together.
