After months of a coworker (now my MOH) saying "you haaave to meet my brother,” it all played out when a girls night out ended in the typical fashion - talking to boys. As I was walking out of the bar I heard a friend say "Hey! That's JJ - Amy's Brother!" One canceled Uber and a few vodka red bulls later, JJ and I were inseparable. We spent the last month of summer together and finally admitted to our families that we were in a relationship just before JJ left to finish his last year of law school in Birmingham. Now we have a home in Fort Walton with two adorable dogs and we’re excited for the next chapter! - Alexsis

As far as Alexsis was concerned, it was just an ordinary weekend getaway to North Carolina. We started the trip with a quick night out in Atlanta, GA, where the best man, Dylan Lee, had been holding onto the ring. Everyone knows if I had it at our house, Alexsis would have found it. So we left Atlanta and headed to the blue ridge mountains, and I had everything planned out. Sunset photo shoot at the highest point in North Carolina. Alexsis had other plans. She tried to leave for the “hike” three hours earlier than planned, refused get dressed in anything other than leggings, and tried to go on a different trail upon arrival to be “adventurous.” Alexsis and her inadvertent actions almost spoiled the surprise a few times, but ultimately, it led to her being in complete awe when I dropped down on one knee, and I now get to marry the love of my life. - JJ
