We met March 7th, 2020 at Charlie's Inn during the Northland Bow Hunters Banquet. Set up to meet each other by the one and only Vanessa, known by both of us. Alex's only comment "as long as she's not a nurse". Meeting criteria, Sam was not a nurse but was a nursing student at the time. Having an instant connection and the help of liquid courage, that was our last single Saturday night.

A week later, COVID-19 hit, and a global pandemic didn't keep us apart and our relationship blossomed from there. Growing in love with our mutual interests that included the river, outdoors, dogs, family, friends and so much more.

After years of support, laughter, and memories we finally got Alex to go on a tropical vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A few days into our trip on January 9th, 2023, Alex got down on one knee on the beach and popped the question asking for a lifetime together, and of course Sam said YES! with no hesitation.

As if starting off 2023 as an engaged couple wasn't enough, it was a big year for us. We bought out first home together in June and in December Sam graduated from nursing school at Viterbo. So, year 2023 ends with Alex getting the nurse that he never knew he wanted.

We look into the year of 2024 and June 1st, we cannot wait to solidify our life, story and love together as husband and wife. We are thrilled to be able to share this day with our family and friends. We are so excited to celebrate with you as the Becker's!

Things to Do coming soon!
