Our story has been in the making for over 12 years! And now we cannot wait to start our next journey of husband and wife!

Alex and I met the first day of sophomore year at Olmsted Falls High School. It was first period in Mr. Kho’s Social Studies II class. I was sitting in the back row and Alex was on the opposite side of the room toward the front. The first time we saw each other it was instant attraction! We left class that day walking down the hallway together and sitting at the same lunch table. This was the start of our friendship which turned into much more. 
Throughout our high school years, we would hang out with the same group of friends and attend the same parties. Eventually we shared our first kiss which turned our relationship into more then just a “friendship”.

After high school we both attended Tri-c at the same time and took some classes together. We would park by each other, do our homework together, and even skipped class a few times! During this period, Alex would walk me to my car and try to kiss me after class which made me fall for him even more. These were such fun days that made us realize how much we meant to each other. Ironically, there came a time where we drifted apart because we didn’t want a more serious relationship to ruin our friendship.

Summer of 2013 is when we saw each other again and couldn’t be separated ever since! We started officially dating October 19, 2013. Throughout our dating life we shared our love for music together by going to different concerts which we still love to do today. We went on many vacations, graduated college, created timeless memories, moved to South Carolina & back to Lakewood, and rescued a kitten. But through it all we are most proud of getting through the harder times with each other! Being able to grow up together has been the most cherished part of our lives!

On January 4, 2020 Alex proposed to me on a trip that was meant to be his 27th birthday surprise! We were hiking in Hocking Hills in an area called Conkle’s Hollow. It was a beautiful warm winter day with no one around but us and he surprised me with the most sentimental ring.

We are so happy to share our love story with you and look forward to the best day of our lives! May 1, 2021!
