Reception

Our Wedding

Jake and Alexis met in the fall of 2021 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Sitting across from each other, sharing dinner at a makeshift coffee table (an old box), Jake asked Alexis to officially be his girlfriend on December 17th, 2021. Theyve shared many ice cream dates and made lots of memories since then!In July 2022, Alexis moved to Missouri to start dental school, and in February 2023, Jake moved to Springfield, Missouri. On December 16th, 2023 the couple spent all day at Silver Dollar City in Branson, riding the rides, enjoying the holiday treats, and admiring the lights. Just before the Christmas parade, Jake proposed in the Christmas light tunnel!!The couple enjoys watching movies, spending time outdoors hunting and fishing, cooking meals together, and playing games. Now, Jake and Alexis enjoy every weekend they can spend together, balancing their busy schedules until Alexis graduates dental school May 15th, 2026. The two look forward to settling down in the Springfield, Missouri area having many adventures together.
