We met in the Hamptons going out with friends from college & high school and immediately clicked. At the time, Ali still lived in Delaware so we didn't know if the distance would work. Alex continued to call and invited Ali back to Long Island where we went to Martha Clara Vineyard on an official first date. We had an amazing weekend and when Ali said "Delaware isn't too far" - we knew it was going to work and dated for over 6 years!
We went to Windham Mountain on a family ski trip with the Bopp family and Gross parents in January. On the last ride of the day, Ali started off down the mountain before everyone else (as she was the slowest of the bunch) and waited for everyone else to zoom past. This time, that did not happen - instead, Alex came quickly snowboarding in front and asked Ali to take a picture with the mountains in the background. If you know Ali, you know she loves a good picture, so happily agreed. We went over to the side of the path and Alex got down on both knees (because of his snowboard) - Ali still didn't know what was going on and was so confused because she was not about to bend down for a picture with her skis on. Alex told Ali to stand in front of him, got out a ring box and asked her to marry him in front of our family on the mountain! Ali cried, laughed, and snorted all in one while saying YES!
Join us at the Cork Factory Hotel for our wedding day on Sunday, October 17th, 2021! We will be celebrating all weekend, so feel free to come Saturday (heck even Friday) through Monday for the party! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Lancaster, PA!
