Our Wedding

We saw each other in classes and around campus for a little over a year before finally doing something about it on a dating app. We spent New Year's 2019 together with Lauryn's friends and then started hanging out much more when the spring semester started. On an impulsive trip to Canada one night, the border patrol man asked what our relationship was, and we decided it was boyfriend/girlfriend! We spent a happy year together before the pandemic and then quarantined apart for a few months before getting to see each other again. We've been inseparable ever since :) We moved in together a month after college and got our wonderful dog Rosie two years later. A year after that, Alec proposed at Parc La Fontaine in Montreal leading to us juggling wedding planning and doing work on the house we bought together. We want to thank you all so much for being part of our story, and we can't wait to see you in September 2025!
