We met one sunny summer day. Alex had been fishing out on the lake, while Kendra (and friend Jennifer) had been laying by the pool. After a long day by the pool the ladies were having drinks at Jennifer's home, while her husband was making dinner. All of a sudden Alex walked through the front door. Both Kendra and Alex were not looking their best, but it was a start to something special. Alex stayed for dinner and the rest is history.
It might have been a little unconventional, but it all started at a bridal salon in Chicago, IL. Kendra was visiting her Mother and Grandmother for Mother’s Day weekend. The ladies thought it would be fun to try on wedding dresses (knowing that Alex already received Kirk’s blessing and the big question would be coming soon). After nearly missing his flight, spilling breakfast on himself and having to rush to the mall to buy a new outfit, Alex made it to the bridal salon. In front of Kendra’s Grandma (Yia Yia), Mother and Aunt Darcy, Alex surprised everyone and dropped down to one knee and popped the question. Of course Kendra said yes.... and now the fun begins!!!
