Trey and Alexa met during their first year at EKU in 2018, living right across the hall from each

other in Telford. They didn’t talk much at first—just the occasional passing "hey"—but

Trey had already noticed something special about Alexa from the first day. Of course, he wasn’t exactly smooth. His go-to excuse to start a conversation? Pretending he desperately needed to

use her Keurig machine... to make hot chocolate.

They only hung out once or twice that year, but Alexa’s best friend, Sarah, had

caught on to Trey’s crush. At the beginning of sophomore year, Sarah let Trey know

Alexa was single and encouraged him to shoot his shot. So he did—and the first date

was, by all accounts, a disaster. But luckily for Trey, Alexa has a great sense of humor

and agreed to a second date just to see if it could possibly get any worse. (Spoiler: it

didn’t.)

From there, things only got better. About six months into dating, COVID hit. They couldn’t see each other in person, but they stayed connected through daily FaceTime calls, phone conversations, and the occasional romantic date from separate cars in the Fayette Mall parking lot.

When things finally calmed down, Alexa and Trey finished their time at EKU together in 2022. One year later, after building a life full of love and laughter, Trey proposed to Alexa in the summer of 2023.
