We're getting married!

They were set up by Simeon, Naomi's little brother back in 2016. They started talking a little at church, and then a little more as volunteers at the youth group. A group game night at Sim's and a few FB messages later, and they were on date #1 at Spagna's. And as the saying goes, the rest is history. And a very wonderful history at that!

Although Naomi knew Alex was going to pop the question on the 4th, he surprised her with the location and, of course, the beautiful ring he designed for her. Alex picked her up from her house around 11am and drove her to McDonough Trails where they have spent a lot of quality time hiking. They walked a short ways hand-in-hand until Alex picked a little spot off the trail to get on one knee. To no one’s surprise, Naomi said “YES!” They celebrated by walking the rest of the trail together, which turned out to be a lot longer than they remembered and, seeing as they left their waters in the car and the temp was nearing 90 degrees, they were questioning their life choices. Well…some of them. 😉 The rest of the day was filled with spreading the good news to friends and family, and sharing happy tears and hugs with many. It was certainly a day they will remember forever.
