Welcome to our happily ever after!

​Alicia went to college at Florida Atlantic University and lived in the dorms and had morning classes. Her next door neighbor would always play obnoxiously loud music super late at night ... so loud that Alicia could make out the words to the songs and would lay in bed trying to sleep and catch herself singing. This frustrated her at times because she would have to wake up so early and this made it hard for her to sleep. She tried banging on the walls with a broom, but the walls were concrete and the music was loud, so it didn't make much difference. One late night after cocktails and dancing with friends she was walking home to her dorm and suddenly decided on a whim that she wants to meet her neighbors. Her neighbor Dave answered the door and Alicia introduced herself and they decided to hang out. They talked, played guitar, sang and then parted ways because it was late. Alicia was now friends with one of her neighbors and she would go over and play cards and hang out with her new friend who after a couple visits was introduced to Dave's roommate.... Cory :) Cory was the one that made all the noise at night and Alicia was so happy to be friends with him now so she could let him know when the music needs to get turned down. Little did they know, but all year long the only thing that separated these two (even before they knew one another) was a wall. Both of their beds were back to back against this wall. Coincidence or destiny? Cory and Alicia became the BEST neighbor friends ever... and the rest is history!

Cory and Alicia took a surprise birthday vacation in Denver, Colorado. They did not know they were traveling to Denver till the day they arrived at the airport and opened an envelope that stated where they were traveling! On the morning of Cory's birthday they decided to wake up at 5:00 A.M. to go out early for a mountain hike while the sun was still rising. They started their hike and while walking upwards towards the mountain they stared at the beautiful scenery and decided to take a picture together. Cory set up the camera he brought with him to take a picture of them. Little did Alicia know he was actually taking a video. As they stood there posing for this picture, Cory turned toward Alicia and said "Do you know what my biggest birthday wish is?" Alicia immediately thought in her head 'to marry me' and knew that's what he was going to say and thought he was just being cute and messing with her and then Cory got on one knee and said "Will you marry me?" Alicia was stunned and exclaimed "Of course! Wait! Are you serious?" Alicia just couldn't believe this was happening, but it was, ...IT WAS! It was an unforgettable moment for the two of them!
