Our Story

Alix and Chad's story began two years before the couple officially met. In 2019, a mutual friend was convinced that the couple would be perfect for each other. She tried her best to introduce the two, but the timing never worked out for Alix and Chad to meet in person. While she was not able to unite the two initially, she did plant the seed for the couple to meet two years later. August 14th of 2021, Chad and Alix finally crossed paths. From across their favorite bar in Oklahoma City, Chad recognized Alix and struck up a conversation. Two weeks later, the two shared their first date and have been inseparable ever since.
