Our Wedding

Our story begins at the end of April 2022. Through the suggestion of a coworker, Ellie added Alex on Facebook… and then forgot about it. A couple days later, Alex sent Ellie a Facebook message pulling out his best pickup line. Ellie was nervous about scheduling a date, so she proposed a phone call first. Their first phone call was 2 hours of easy conversation and laughter. They’d discovered the enjoyment of each other’s company. 2 days later, Alex drove all the way across Little Rock, across the bridge, into North Little Rock, to pick Ellie up from her apartment like the gentleman he is. He took her to Camp Taco, where they both enjoyed Lost Forty Easy Tiger beers, and were too nervous to eat. After dinner, neither Alex nor Ellie wanted to leave the other. Alex suggested other nice restaurants and bars to finish the night, but then he asked Ellie if she liked “dive bars”. Ellie agreed, and Alex took her to the Town Pump, where they spent several more hours laughing and learning about each other. Alex and Ellie did not want to be a part from one another after that first date, so they weren’t. It was about a week before Ellie knew she was in love, and had to tell Alex. Luckily, the love shared between them was mutual. Their time together has been spent with lots of good food, truck rides, dog snuggles, music, laughter, watching sports, as well as life changing losses and transitions that have only brought them closer together. There’s nobody else they’d rather go through the good and bad with. And they can’t wait to spend forever together.
