Alex and Sydney met during their first week at Samford University in the fall of 2016. Little did they know what the future had in store...

They remained friends throughout freshman and sophomore year...

... and junior and senior year.

Alex and Sydney "officially" started dating in March of 2022...

... and dated "long distance" from Birmingham to Watercolor and then Birmingham to Alpharetta.

Alex proposed to Sydney in her hometown of Bowling Green, KY. She had no clue he was in town, and was beyond surprised and ecstatic! The rest is history...
