Emory and Alex’s story began in the most unexpected place—Amazon. No, not the jungle, but the one that delivers your packages! Emory was at a job training session, and Alex just so happened to be the instructor. From the moment he saw her, Alex felt a spark. When she surprised him by rounding a corner, he knew something special had begun.

Their friendship blossomed, and a few months later, Alex worked up the courage to ask Emory to be his girlfriend. Both were in the middle of life changes, but together they found a way to grow and support each other. Two amazing years later, Alex planned a surprise hiking trip to Rock Island and asked the biggest question—would she be his wife? Spoiler: She said yes!

Along the way, they faced challenges, had deep conversations, and built an unbreakable bond. Recently, they hit another milestone by buying their first home, creating a space to build their dreams together.

With excitement and gratitude, they’re ready for the next chapter of their adventure.

With love,

The Allens
