WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

Stephanie and Alex met through two of their best friends, Emily and Ben Kilpatrick. Stephanie and Emily were roommates at LSU together, so she was ecstatic when they decided to move to Tampa. Alex and Ben were co-residents at USF. They met one night at a friend's party and hit it off immediately with their shared connection to New Orleans and tequila. When Alex asked Stephanie where she was from, she said "Kenner City Brah!" They have been inseparable ever since.

Stephanie was going home to New Orleans for Christmas, but unfortunately Alex had to work therefore they planned a nice Christmas dinner on December 23, 2020. Alex insisted they opened presents before heading to dinner, the presents the couple decided would be "small" this year. After Alex opened his, it was Stephanie's turn. After tearing through multiple boxes, she got to the ring box. After opening, she looked up and Alex was on one knee and asked "Will you marry me?"
