We're Getting Married!!

It all started in the winter of 2011. Alex worked as a manager at Ezell's Catfish Cabin and one afternoon in January she received a phone call from the owner of the restaurant. She was told that a young man named Brady was coming in to apply for a position and she should hire him right away. He was a previous employee of the restaurant and the owner cleared him for hire. Alex assumed she knew who the owner was referring to. Imagine her surprise when Brady Bowers walked through the door expecting a job on the spot! She turned him away into the cold and they never spoke again...well obviously not; but, she was hesitant at first. Brady was asked to complete an application and then told that Alex would be in touch with him if a position was available. A few hours after he left the restaurant, Alex started feeling a little guilty for not hiring him immediately. After all, he did seem like a nice guy! She gave him a call and let him know when he could start. Well imagine the whispers a few months later when the rumors fly that Brady wants to ask the manager of the restaurant on a date. Eventually, Alex slipped Brady her business card with her personal phone number written on the back. After several conversations over the phone and nights with mutual friends, Brady and Alex went on their first date. Four months later, Alex and Brady "officially" declared themselves a couple to friends and family. During and after those four months, they spent almost every day together. The two have built a bond with each other that neither thought was possible. They have built a life together with their three cats and one dog. Their recent experience with Brady joining the Air Force has strengthened their bond and shown that they will be able to make it through anything. Here they are, almost nine years after their first date, planning a wedding for the beautiful couple.
