Alex and I met at the one and only place for star-crossed lovers, Pub on Pearl. Alex, an Iowa native and recent Colorado transplant, and myself-also an Iowa native, bartending trying to pave my way through grad school. After a particularly emotional and stressful summer I went in on my night off to have a few drinks with my girl Madison. While there, a guy with a man-bun (swoon) came strutting in. (If you know Alex, I'm sure you can imagine the strut I'm talking about). I remember thinking he was attractive, but my mind was pretty preoccupied with other things going on in my life and I just kind of left it at that, just a thought. We chatted and went about our merry way. A few weeks later, Alex appeared again at my birthday party. A drunkenly planned camping trip was discussed with a group of friends and a couple weeks later Alex and I ventured out together since everyone else bailed (thanks guys!- but really, thank you!). We spent the weekend laughing until we cried and having the best time I think I've had on a camping trip to date. When we got back to Denver Alex won my heart even more. I had moved into a new apartment, and one ikea shelf after another he snuck right in and now I couldn't even fathom my life without him. He's my person. Plain and Simple. I will forever believe we walked into eachother's lives at the exact moment the universe intended us to, and believe even more strongly that we are absolutely meant to do this thing called life together. We are so excited to celebrate our love with all of you, and cannot wait for this next adventure!
