Steph’s friend’s boyfriend’s neighbors (you may need to read that one a couple times) lived in a house endearingly named “the Barn” by Alex and his friends. The Barn shared a gigantic back yard with Steph’s friend’s boyfriend’s house (got it yet?) so naturally, the two houses combined parties. Steph and Alex knew of each other, but that’s about it at that time. Flash forward another year, when the two of them ran into each other on the Sea Isle City boardwalk. They said hello and caught up briefly, but it wasn’t until January 2017, when they were both in Philadelphia with friends and they ran into each other AGAIN. They finally exchanged numbers and went on their first date a couple of days later in King of Prussia, PA! The rest is history so they say. Their love has taken them from Fairmount in Philadelphia to the Big Apple with no shortage of adventures and travels in between. Alex proposed in Wissahickon Park in January 2021 - the park they used to regularly explore with their dog Kona when they lived in Philadelphia. Steph had no idea it was coming! They went out for what Steph thought was a standard hike only to find Alex down on one knee and shortly after surrounded by family. We love spending time in nature and doing anything outdoors, so we are SO excited to share our special day with you all at the beautiful and tranquil Trout Lake. Let the countdown begin!!
