Kaleb and Alexis first met in youth group at E-Free church in their hometown Kearney, Nebraska. Kaleb was instantly drawn to Alexis right when she walked in. He sat behind her and a couple friends. Through youth group and their freshman year at Kearney High, Kaleb and Alexis became friends.

Throughout high school their friendship grew and they both genuinely really enjoyed each others' company! Kaleb and Alexis both were in the same tight-nit friend group and hung out often with the group. They also had band together, so they got to spend time before school started doing marching band together, during the school day band block, and during all the bus trips around Nebraska for competitions.

During their senior year of high school, Kaleb and Alexis's friendship started becoming something more. They sought each other out more in friend group activities and Kaleb would facetime Alexis for help with math. After several months of being very close friends, Kaleb (finally) asked Alexis to be his girlfriend on February 16th, 2020. Later that year, they both went to Cedarville University in Ohio.

They dated all throughout college and went through several big life transitions together - moving across the country, starting college, making new friends, figuring out career paths, and moving to Columbus, Ohio.

About a year and a half after graduating, on August 18th, 2025, they got engaged! Kaleb also invited some family and friends to a surprise engagement party at Alexis's apartment when they got back from dinner!

During the engagement season, Alexis and Kaleb have been growing closer together and are enjoying the process of planning their wedding! They just got their new apartment in Grove City and are so thankful for the Lord's goodness and faithfulness to them throughout this journey. They hope to have their marriage be a beautiful picture of Agape love.
