Both born in 2003, Jamison and Alexa grew up living very different lives. Jamison, growing up in a small town and Alexa, growing up traveling the country visiting different cities for work.

While growing up in Buffalo, Alexa's best friend since kindergarten would move an hour away to Ellicottville. This absolutely broke Alexa's heart, as Olivia was a sister to her. Alexa would travel there every weekend for the first year, and spend majority of her summers there for years to follow. Growing very fond of Olivia's friends, she felt like she fit right in in a town she didn't live in.

Senior year of high school has come to an end. Olivia was to have her graduation party on July 18th, and take Alexa and Paisly to jet away to Savannah, Georgia for her birthday the following week. Alexa decided to branch out of her comfort zone and meet new people.

You see, Jamison was in attendance at Olivia's graduation party. Alexa quickly had her eyes set on him as the boy she would talk to. With the help of some friends, Alexa was quickly brought over to join in a round of cup pong, where her and Jamison immediately took to bullying each other with a little competitive banter.

After a land slide of a win, Jamison and Alexa made their way over to the rest of the party. It had reached 2 am at this point and people slowly started to trickle inside to go to bed.

With a measly crowd of around 10 people left, the speaker began to play "As the World Caves In" by Matt Maltese. Jamison extends a hand to Alexa, in a suggestion to follow him. They began to slow dance in the dark, under the stars in Olivia's driveway.

The night ends flawlessly with a short kiss. Jamison, being the good friend he is, needs to get some of his friends home for the night. He continues to run back and forth from his car to inside Olivia's house to say goodbye to Alexa at least 4 times before he finally does leave. Alexa quickly found his social medias, hoping he'll message her the following morning.

It isn't until 2 pm the following day when Alexa receives a message from Jamison. He had lost in phone in his driveway while leaving to head to Olivia's the night before, and spent all morning looking for it to text her. They quickly set up a first date for a few days later at the Gin Mill.

Nervous as ever Jamo had to change his shirt twice before leaving the house to see Alexa. After their date, they spent the rest of the day at Spruce lake. That night Alexa would meet Jamo's mom and spend the night in the guest room since it was too late to drive back home.

After continuing to just stay at Jamisons house after the first date, nearly 2 days later Alexa sits Jamo down to talk.

"So, are you going to ask me out or are you going to play mind games with me"

They began dating that night. July 23rd, 2021

Nearly 4 years, 2 dogs, 4 cats, two apartments, and multiple jobs later...they are still as in love as ever. Forever inseparable, best friends who have grown into adults together.

We would love if you would join us for our wedding, a day we both have been dreaming of since the night The World Caved In.
