We met at the end of our Sophomore year in high school. We became friends, however we never dated in high school. After we graduated high school, we both attended College of Alameda where we became really close. We were neighbors, friends, and classmates. Why not become a couple? We officially started dating April 16th 2014 and we have not looked back.
Alex finally proposed July 17, 2018 and thus began the task of planning a wedding. We soon agreed to have a long engagement for our wallets (and sanity). We eventually settled on October 10, 2020 as our wedding date because it was during the fall and the numbers looked really cool (10/10/2020). Well, as you can imagine, 2020 had other plans for us. We decided to change our date to June 7th, 2021 as a tribute to the wedding anniversary of Brittani's grandparents. With the passing of Brittani's grandfather in November of 2020, it became more important than ever to get married on June 7th in honor of their memory. As the day of the wedding approached, it became apparent that restrictions on guest counts would still be in effect. Not wanting to exclude a majority of our friends and family from being able to attend, we decided that a second wedding further down the line would be for the best hoping that most of the restrictions would be lifted by then. So we decided to have a very small ceremony on June 7th, and have a big ceremony and celebration on September 27th 2021.
