Our story started way back in 2nd grade when Lexi moved to Centralia and met Beau at school. From there, we spent years growing up together and dated on and off throughout elementary, intermediate, and middle school, so technically, you could say this has been years in the making!

After going our seperate ways for a while, we ended up reconnecting because of our weight lifting class in April of 2022 for our first offical date! Lexi thought Beau was cute (still), got his snapchat, and we started hanging out shortly after. By June 2022, we officially started dating, and the rest is history!

Since then, we have spent our time traveling, finding new movies to watch together, and making plenty of memories along the way. On May 29, 2026, Beau proposed at Capen Park in Columbia, Missouri, and Lexi said yes!

Looking back, it is funny how we went from elementary school classmates to fiancé and fiancée. We are so excited to celebrate with all of our favorite people and cannot wait for the big day!
