Our Wedding

Lexi and A.J. are a perfect example of God’s hand guiding two people together. A shared residence hall, a hallway neighbor of Lexi’s that was also in a class of A.J.’s, and a mutual love of volleyball brought these two together. If it hadn’t been for any of those things, they might have never met. Lexi, when they had met, had said to A.J. that she had never planned on getting married. A.J. always knew that he was going to get married, and he was just waiting for the right person. It seemed like they were on differing paths. But, God was leading these two together before they even realized that they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. It took a whole year of a gradual friendship to get to the point where they wanted to go out with each other. After A.J. stopped dragging his feet, he finally asked Lexi out, and the two began dating at the end of their freshman year of college.As with all good things, their relationship took time to grow. A.J. had never dated before, and that led to some difficulty early on. The two broke up before the summer had ended. It was at that point that they both realized how real their affection was for each other, although neither would admit it at the time. A.J. never gave up on the relationship, convincing himself day after day that he would win her back. Lexi would tell her coworkers that, even though they weren’t together anymore, they would get married someday. None of their friends were surprised, then, when the two got back together three months later. From that moment, their relationship grew from one that was a passing romance to a deep, meaningful love that would lead to the rest of their lives.They had incredible times together, going on dates that spanned from hanging out and watching movies to driving four hours there and back to Torch Lake and twelve hours there and back to Hilton Head Island. They share a love of concerts, beaches, and adventure, which led them to many memorable dates and events together.Through ups and downs, the two stayed together, proving that the love that they had been searching for their entire lives was found in each other. It didn’t take long for them to begin discussing getting married to each other. A.J. wanted nothing more than to marry Lexi, and knew that it had to be perfect. They got engaged one beautiful summer day in a field that they had gone to years before to talk, take fun pictures and watch the sunset. They celebrated that evening with both of their families, who are so important to both of them.Both A.J. and Lexi are so excited for what the future holds, knowing that they will face that future together as a married couple. They are both so thankful that God had a plan for them. They had both been praying for the right person to come into their lives, and God’s hand brought the two soul mates right to each other. The two of them couldn’t be happier with that plan, as they are so incredibly excited to spend the rest of their lives together.Lexi and A.J. are going to be married on June 11, 2022, a date that both of them wish was sooner than it is.
