Due to events in the world, we have opted to have an intimate ceremony with only a few of our family members and friends, while the rest of our guests are celebrating with us via Livestream. The goal is to have our loved ones safely attend our special day. We want to thank you for your support and understanding. This has been a very tough year for all of us. We are all in this together. Even you are at home, join us on Facebook and enjoy our wedding day celebration via Livestream. We hope to see you there! Don't forget to add our Facebook group: Just type "Alex & Laarni Wedding 2020" Go Live or share with us your pictures of that day in our Facebook Group!

We met in 2012, in an unusual place here in Yucca Valley at Denny's. We became friends for a while but have a secret admiration for each other. We didn't become a couple until 3/03/014. We dated for 3 years until we decided to share a place together in 12/20/2017. We got engaged on 6/07/2019. The secret of our relationship involves kindness, humor, respect, most of all, sharing our creative gifts with one another. Now we are ready to make a lifelong commitment to one another and add more adventures to it.
