Our Wedding

It all started at a mutual friend’s birthday party. I wasn’t expecting anything out of the ordinary, but when Alex asked for my number, things took an unexpected turn. He handed me his phone and, to my surprise, had my Facebook pulled up! Although it could’ve been awkward, I thought it was hilarious — definitely memorable. From there, we hit it off, and the rest is history! Over the years, we’ve experienced many life changes together—moving to a new city, adjusting to my new job, and navigating Alex’s journey through law school. Each step has only made our relationship stronger, and I truly believe these experiences have shaped us into the partners we are today. Now, as we get ready to take the next step in our journey together, I can’t help but feel excited for everything that’s ahead. With Alex by my side, I know the best is yet to come! - Merrell
