It’s Happening!

We knew each other in college but not well. After we graduated, we found ourselves working in the city. Ade asked Alex to join her for a holiday function, lovingly known as Holly Ball. Alex enthusiastically said "yes!". Needless to say, it was a great party! The next week Alex nervously asked Ade out on a date. Ade said "yes!" and they exchanged pleasantries over Homeslice Pizza.

After 4 years of dating, a lot of big steps happened. We were traveling together, growing more into our careers, and finally moved in together. Ade was becoming restless entertaining the thought when Alex would propose. With many nerves and flawed logistics, Alex asked Ade to marry him at the Christkindlmarket surrounded by some of Ade's nearest and dearest.

2019-2020 happened. It was an incredibly challenging year for everyone. We came to the conclusion that we could not have the wedding we planned, but realized we wanted to face whatever came next together. Under a tree in Alex's grandparent's farm, with some family, we exchanged our vows.

2020 had us reflect on many things. We spent a lot of time getting to know each other more and finding silver linings, such as taking care of our little dog, Dottie :) Now it's 2021. Vaccines are available and we are feeling hopeful and are cautiously making plans.

We feel it's HAPPENING! Words can't express how excited we are to FINALLY celebrate this journey with all of you. Let's party.
