They had many mutual friends through scouting, but had only ever talked in passing. Until the summer of 2023 when Alex was working as the head lifeguard at camp and John came to visit some friends. She noticed how cute he had gotten and worked up the nerve to ask for his snapchat. He luckily said yes, and a summer romance was born! Small hangouts and late night phone calls quickly followed, and on that July 4th he finally sealed the deal and asked her to be his girlfriend. The next year and half were filled with love and the trials of navigating a long distance relationship and college. Being apart was hard, but they knew they were meant for each other. So on June 20th, 2025 John proposed to Alex at the very camp where they had meet. With a bee keeping class as an accidental witness, she happily said yes. So now we wait for the day they say "I do," so won't you come join us in the place where it all began? Find them at Camp Buck Toms on Nov. 14th in 2026!
