Alan and Judi first crossed paths in 2014 at MaryAnn’s (Alan's Mother) birthday party, where an instant connection sparked between them. They began dating casually, but as life unfolded, they each felt the need to grow individually. Though their romantic journey paused, their deep friendship endured, tethering their hearts together.

As the years passed, their bond only deepened, as if the stars themselves had planned to keep them close. After eight years of cherished friendship, Alan felt the pull of destiny urging him to take one last chance to win over the love of his life before letting her "slip away". To his elation, Judi felt the same way, her heart echoing his own. As the saying goes, "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was meant to be."

The cosmos seemed to conspire in their favor, weaving their fates together in a celestial tapestry. On February 12, 2022, under a sky that seemed to shine just for them, Alan asked Judi to be his Valentine. Since that moment they have been inseparable, their love story a testament to the magic of the universe and the belief that true love is destined to find its way.

On April 8, 2024, Alan and Judi traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas, to witness the solar eclipse in its full totality. During this extraordinary celestial event, one of nature’s most magical anomalies, Alan proposed, making the moment even more transcendent. Their love, like the eclipse, was a rare and wondrous phenomenon, destined to shine brightly forever.

While planning for their wedding in 2025, the universe had already begun to align as though the stars themselves had whispered it was time. Alan and Judi eloped on September 20, 2024, while surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature, they became partners for life. Proving that the truest love stories are the ones written with patience, trust, and a deep, endearing connection.

Alan and Judi eloped in a moment that felt as if the cosmos had stood still, guided by the quiet pull of the universe and the gravity of a love that had defied time. Their promises, soft and certain, seemed to rise into the night like constellations forming a new story. A love not only destined, but eternal; etched into the stars themselves.

On September 20, 2025, Alan and Judi will gather under the stars with their dearest family and friends to celebrate their enduring love and vow renewal, a moment predestined in the heavens.
