Cindy Anderson, Mother of the Bride-

I was lucky enough to be there the night Emily and Alex first met—at a wedding where they danced together all night long. The joy and energy between them were impossible to miss.

Not long after, they went on their very first date: bowling. Emily came home in the middle of it because her skirt had ripped (as these things sometimes do), which left Alex sitting in our living room with us while she changed. I offered him a beer to break the ice—he drank it in about thirty seconds flat, which told us he either really liked beer or was just that nervous. (Maybe both.)

Since that night, we’ve had the privilege of watching their love grow deeper and stronger with every passing season. They make each other laugh, lift each other up, and bring out the best in one another. We couldn’t be happier that they’ve found their forever dance partner in life.
