We’re getting married!

On a Saturday in October 2016, Rachel and her friends were sitting at Cain and Abel's bar near The University of Texas campus, watching the Longhorns. Alec and a group of friends approached the girls, as that group knew each other from high school. Once they left, Rachel asked her friend, Courtney, "why have you never introduced me to your tall, cute swimmer friend, Alec??" Later on, Alec and Rachel exchanged numbers and Rachel relentlessly texted Alec every Tuesday to meet her and her friends at Cain and Abel's for dollar beers. After a few Tuesday dollar beers, class together, bonding over skiing and their maltipoos, Daisy and Pippa, Rachel asked Alec to attend her sorority formal with her. Almost 5 years later and the rest is history! P.S. Alec will still tell the more "wholesome" story that they met in class :-)

On the morning of Saturday, December 4, 2021, Alec asked Rachel to have a "day" with him and walk their favorite park in Denver, followed by lunch at Wash Park Grille, to then head to some breweries in Denver. Luckily, Rachel obliged and was only somewhat skeptical as to why Alec was wearing a button down shirt and jeans to "walk the park." Once they arrived at the park, Alec led Rachel close to one of the lakes at Wash Park and popped the question - She (obviously) said yes!! We are so excited to ring in the New Year with you! See you at The Broadmoor!
