Our Wedding

Our Story

It all started in 2019 at the Truck Yard in Dallas, when Carly and Alec met through a mutual friend. After a few months of dating, they realized they were in different chapters—Carly was off to Chicago, Alec was climbing the corporate ladder. The timing wasn’t quite right. Three years later, they crossed paths again in Austin. Alec left a family dinner to meet Carly (who just happened to be in town with her family) and that night changed everything. From there, it was long-distance love: Phoenix to Dallas, monthly visits, countless facetimes, and making the most out of a long distance relationship. Eventually, Alec made the leap and moved to Phoenix, fully convinced this was it. “Left for the girlfriend, came back with a fiancée” became his go-to line.&nbsp;Alec and Carly spent the following years traveling from coast to coast and everywhere in between, creating lifelong memories along the way. He proposed in Dallas, with friends and family hiding in plain sight, and a post-engagement party right where it all began: Truck Yard. One unforgettable detail? On the way to the proposal, they passed an older couple walking hand-in-hand. Alec smiled and said, “That could be us one day.” Carly’s reply: “If only you’d hurry the eff up.” She had no idea just how soon her moment was coming true.
