Our Wedding

Alex and I met back in October of 2020 in the thick of Covid while working at Central DuPage Hospital. I was working with a difficult patient in the Emergency Room and security was called to help ease some of the stress of the situation. If you were to ask Alex, he'd tell you he saved my life but that would be a bit of an exaggeration. After watching this security guard calm the patient down with his calm demeanor and great people skills, I was hooked. I went a few weeks without seeing this mystery security guard again until the next time I was in the Emergency Room when I saw him walking toward me. A little bit of small talk later and I was able to get his first name...the search was on.		I went home that night scouring Facebook for this security guard named Alex. Once I found him, I saw that his bio said "Follower of Jesus". I knew this was going to be the guy for me. I would like to say that the rest is history and it was rainbows and butterflies from that moment on but that wouldn't be the case. We went a few difficult months in the beginning figuring out if we were going to give a relationship a shot. By January 8th, 2021, we were both all in.	Through job changes, moving houses, sicknesses and more, we have withstood it all. Thick and thin, we have been by each other's side and we are ready to make it official so that we can spend forever together. October 1st, here we come!
