Lexi and Brad’s story began on an unusual day—Friday the 13th, September 13th, 2024. They met through a dating app, and after only a day of chatting, Brad asked Lexi to grab a bite. What was meant to be a quick stop at BJ’s for pizookies turned into dinner, laughter, and four hours of talking—hours that neither of them wanted to end. By the next morning, while Lexi was off to Hawaii, Brad had already deleted his dating apps—he knew he wanted to see where this could go. When Lexi returned a week later, their second date almost didn’t happen. Lexi had to cancel due to food poisoning (yes, from Chick-fil-A), and Brad couldn’t resist joking with her, teasing that maybe she wasn’t that interested after all and was coming up with excuses. Little did he know, she was actually very, very sick—but the spark between them was undeniable, and they quickly picked up where they left off. In the weeks that followed, they went on adventures, shared laughs, and grew closer. On October 26th, 2024, Brad playfully tricked Lexi into saying yes to being his girlfriend—and from that moment, both knew they had found their person. Their relationship has always been full of love, laughter, and spontaneity. By February 2025, Lexi had moved in with Brad, and it only took a few months for him to realize he wanted to spend his life with her. On Mother’s Day, while driving to her parents’ house, he shared his intentions, and Lexi couldn’t help but feel butterflies. A few weeks later, during a family vacation, Brad shared his excitement with his family: he was going to marry her. On August 30th, 2025, Brad proposed at the lake—a place that had become their special spot over countless weekends of boating, jet skiing, and adventures on the water. Surrounded by both of their families, it was an intimate and unforgettable moment, perfectly reflecting their love. A year after they met, on September 13th, 2025, they celebrated the day that changed their lives with matching four-leaf clover tattoos—a reminder of the luckiest day of their lives. Two years after that first Friday the 13th, Lexi and Brad are excited to say “I do” and continue building a life full of love, adventure, family, and all the little moments that make life extraordinary.
