Our Wedding

It all started on a St. Louis rec league soccer field. Alex was playing for Dory’s team just looking for a little friendly competition — but they quickly found something much more special. Between playful banter, post-game hangs, and cheering each other on from the sidelines, sparks began to fly. What began as teammates turned into best friends, and soon after, soulmates. These days, you can still find them on the field (or in the sand!) playing soccer and sand volleyball together with their crew of friends. In 2025, during a trip to Mexico, Alex planned the ultimate surprise — a romantic dinner on the beach where he got down on one knee and asked Dory to spend forever with him. (She said yes, of course!) Now they call Affton, Missouri home, where they share life’s adventures with their two sweet dogs, Hank and Bella. Their story began with a game, grew with laughter, and continues with love — and they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you!

Our Story

We would recommend booking hotel rooms early as it is a holiday weekend. Below are a few options to look at. There are also quite a few Air BNBs and VRBOs in Hermann/right out side Hermann. Our plan is to explore a few wineries on Sunday (after the wedding) for all that would like to join.
