Our Wedding

Alex and I met through a mutual friend and after we met I thought he was one of the funniest guys in the world. A couple of hang outs later, he asked for my number (smooth move). And as they say, the rest is history!

The Beginning

Alex and I talked about getting engaged but I didn't know exactly when it was going to happen. We were going to spend Thanksgiving in Arizona with my family and I had hoped he would do it then but he made it seem like it wasn't going to happen. Come thanksgiving week, Alex had planned on coming in Wednesday afternoon and I had planned on picking him up then. In the meantime, my dad had planned a sunrise hike with the family Wednesday morning. After 10 minutes of walking, out pops Alex! I couldn't believe he came in early! He got down on one knee (of course) and asked me to marry him. It really was the perfect day!
