Though neither Alexander nor Emily June are from the State of Alabama, the Yellowhammer State is where their story together began. As students at the University of Alabama, the soon-to-be-wed couple met through mutual friends in 2019 and instantly connected.

Respectively from Miami (FL) and Warner Robins (GA), Alexander and Emily June spent the better part of two decades in neighboring states. However, the differences in where they grew up has been, and continues to be, a beautiful part of their story together.

After graduating from the University of Alabama in 2021, the two decided to move together to Miami. There, Alexander began law school, and Emily June began working toward achieving her goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. Pursuing this dream meant moving to Savannah, Georgia and being away from home for two and a half years, which wasn’t always easy. However, the miles on their cars and countless flights were worth it for them to start building the life they envisioned. With the love and support they shared for each other, they graduated from their respective programs with honors. Alexander proposed on May 9th, 2024, the day before he graduated from law school. He now works as an attorney in Coral Gables, and Emily June works as a Pediatric Dermatology PA, also in Coral Gables - their offices are across the street from each other.

Together, the two are never short on fun experiences. They can usually be found playing with their dog (Odie, a rescue they adopted in 2020), watching Jeopardy on a nightly basis, and golfing on the weekends. Though many are named in the wedding party, the two share a great number of friends, all of whom they’ve met on their journey through life. His friends became hers, and hers became his. Though not related by blood, they consider their friends to be family and never shy away from an opportunity to spend time with them all.

Like many others, their story isn’t without hardships and loss. In 2020, Alexander suffered the sudden loss of his father, Dale Spurr; and in the early months of 2025, Emily June lost her grandmother, June Young. While mourning the loss of a loved one is never an easy task, the two were there for each other when needed most. To supplement their love for each other, the families of both have shown incredible support in difficult times. As such, the marriage of Alexander and Emily June may be a ceremonial blending of two families, but it’s evident they’ve long considered each other as their own.

With their careers in full swing, and their love continuing to bloom, Alexander and Emily June are excited to welcome you all to their wedding ceremony and reception on February 28, 2026, to bear witness to their lifelong commitment to each other and the families they love so dearly.
