Wedding Day

Our Wedding

Marcus and Lexi are complete opposites, but as they say, opposites attract.   Their love story began in 2010, when they were carefree teenagers with no responsibilities. They dated for a couple of years, but life had other plans for them. Marcus was rodeoing and helping his families parking business, while Lexi received a scholarship to play softball at Iowa State University. They went their separate ways in 2013, but had hope that one day in the future, their paths would cross again.   It wasn't until the end of 2017 when they found their way back to one another. They caught up on each other's lives and realized that they had the same love for each other as they did back in 2010.   On April 1st, 2020, they took the next big step in their relationship and moved in together.   It wasn't until March 17, 2024, that Marcus (finally) decided to pop the question. He took Lexi to a hilltop overlooking his cattle and the beautiful Ramona, CA. With a cooler packed full of their favorite drinks, he got down on one knee and popped the big question.   As they plan their wedding and celebrate their love, Marcus and Lexi can't help but laugh at how different they are. But they also know that their differences make their love even stronger. And as they look ahead on their journey, they are grateful for every twist and turn that led them to this perfect moment.
