Steven and Lexie met for the first time in 2014 while we were both attending Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. Steven, originally from Rochester, New York and Lexie, originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were both brought to Mercyhurst University to pursue their dreams of football and dance. We feel so fortunate for our paths to have crossed. “It’s great day to be a Laker!”

Upon graduation, Steven and Lexie began their long distance relationship from New York to Florida. After many years of flying up and down the east coast and hours of FaceTiming, Steven moved to sunny Florida. On November 25th, 2020, in the presence of both of our families, Steven got down on one knee and romantically proposed on the beach. From our young college years, to being long distance, to being engaged, we have grown so much and we could not be more excited to spend the rest of our lives together!
