Our Wedding

Our first date was on October 24, 2024, at a sports bar, Fronks (RIP), where we watched the Vikings vs. Rams Thursday Night Football game. The fact that Alexa stayed up well past her bedtime was the first sign that things were off to a great start.As the holidays rolled around, our dates quickly became adventures. We tackled the Haunted Hayride, wandered through the Christmas lights in Belmont Shore, and, of course, spent time at Disney. Somewhere along the way, we realized how much we genuinely enjoyed being together. Conversation came naturally, we always had fun, and spending time with each other just felt easy.Our first trip together was a Valentine's Day weekend getaway to San Diego in 2025, and that's when we discovered a shared love for traveling. Since then, we've been lucky enough to make memories together in Big Bear, Japan, New Orleans, on a Pacific Northwest road trip, and during countless weekend getaways—with many more adventures still to come.Along the way, we've also bonded over our shared love of sports. Whether we're cheering on the Dodgers or rooting for the Rams, you'll usually find us watching a game together.Looking back, it all started with one football game, but it's grown into a life full of laughter, adventure, and our favorite person to experience it all with.
